Notes

2021-09-10 - From a church history (150th Anniversary, 2007): ". In 1907 a water powered pipe organ was installed which remained in working order until 1957. The original pipes are still a lovely element of the sanctuary." -Paul R. Marchesano

2021-09-10 - "The new pipe organ for the Presbyterian church has arrived and is now being plavced in the church by an expert organ builder of the Hinners Organ Company, of Pekin, Ill. The opening concert will be given Thursday evening, April 18th." -- *The Paxton Record* (Paxton, Illinois) · 11 Apr 1907, Thu · Page 5 -Paul R. Marchesano
