Notes

2004-10-30 - Damaged; unplayable -Database Manager

2005-07-10 - The church was built in the first decade of the twentieth century by parishioners who worked only at night, because that was the only free time they had. (Rural workders of the time were in the fields 6 days a week.) The organ was donated by the local Presbyterian church when they built a new building and bought a new Austin organ. -Database Manager

2013-11-05 - The pedalboard is missing, and there is no way to raise the wind at present. From a cursory examination, the action appears to be intact. Double-rise bellowes needs to be releathered, as might be expected. -Database Manager
