Notes
2018-12-08 - Identified through online information from Marvin Clegg. -- Updated by Marvin Clegg, who has heard or played the organ.
Expanded in late 1983 by Klug & Schumacher, with Mr. Klug passing away that year. Moved into new sanctuary immediately adjacent.
This organ was expanded to four manuals by Klug & Schumacher and has been relocated into an adjacent newer sanctuary. However, the property has been sold for non-church purposes and according to the source below, will be vacated around September 2019. One church official stated in 2018 that the organ will be placed into storage.
