Notes
2020-05-06 - Identified through online information by parish historian, Richard Gottshall. -- The organ was originally installed in Grace Methodist Episcopal Church in downtown Franklin, Indiana. Grace moved to a new building at the east edge of the city in 1965 but left the organ at the old church, which was sold. The church that took over the former Grace didn't use the organ and used the console to make a new pulpit. In 1985, the pieces were purchased and moved to the new church. Cave Pipe Organ Co. of Carmel, Ind., handled the renovation and reinstallation. -Rich Gotshall
