Notes

2021-05-02 - Indentified from the Parish website, which sttes, *"St. Paul's simple but impressive interior features, beautiful Gothic stained glass windows and carved arches, colonial inspired wall sconces, and an elaborate mechanically operated organ designed by Marion native, David Sifritt in 1992."* -Jim Stettner

2021-05-02 - The parish was on the verge of closing according to a December 10, 2017 Marion Star online article. For a time, the parish was sharing the pastor from St. Paul's Lutheran Church in town. They did ultimately disband, and the property was sold to Hope Family Church. The organ was removed and disposition is unknown. -Jim Stettner

2021-05-04 - I had a reply from the church on a Facebook Messenger inquiry. They said, *"We did acquire the organ when we bought the property. We sold it to a man who lives in Michigan. I don't think I kept his contact info but I will look. He was using it to build an organ. Hopefully this helps.".* -Jim Stettner
