Notes

2022-08-30 - This entry represents the installation of a new organ. Initially identified from parish Facebook photos. -Jim Stettner

2023-09-29 - From 1902 until the early 1970s, there was a one manual Hinners pipe organ in original condition. It was the first of five tracker pipe organs installed in local churches. A three rank Wicks with all pipes in the open was installed in about the early 1970s, and later replaced with a larger Wicks unit organ with all pipes under expression, later in the 1970s. Both were re-installations. The current Wicks organ has a dual valve 16' Bourdon, a Gedeckt, metal flute, Salicional, Celeste, Principal, and Mixture. Only the wooden flute and trumpet have the octave ending at tenor C. In recent years, it has been maintained by the Watson Pipe Organ Company of Galesburg, Illinois. They made the trumpet much more usable by revoicing it to fit nicely into the full organ. -Hugh W McHarry
