Notes
2022-05-31 - Built during the era when Henry Willis III was tonal director at Wicks just prior to the beginning of WWII. His influence was present in the instrument, though it is not known if he had personal involvement in the instrument. Broken up for parts in 2020 when the congregation deemed the organ surplus. -Shawn P. Keith
