Notes
2021-04-03 - The organ utilized Odell's patented tubular-pneumatic action. The contract price was $2,500 and the organ was to be provided with an electric blower and a detached and reversed console of black walnut. The existing case and facade pipes of the old organ were to be reused, moved forward one foot. The historic brick church was placed on the National Register in 1991, but the internet states the church is permanently closed-- a 2020 photo shows the exterior in freshly-painted condition with a signboard in front now stating "Lamplighter Ministries". The fate of the organ is unknown. -Scot Huntington
2023-03-29 - From photos on the Lamplighter Ministries Facebook page, it seems clear that the organ was removed in 2016 and dispersed. Only the historic case and facade remain. -Jim Stettner
