Notes

2022-11-07 - This entry represents the installation of a new organ. Identified through writings in the Episcopal Diocese of Northern Indiana Archives. The organ was installed in the left alcove at the front, facing the congregation. 3-sectional pipe-fence facade with 17 stenciled pipes arranged: 4-9-4. -Jim Stettner

2022-11-07 - From online notes from the Episcopal Diocese of Northern Indiana Archives, *"The Very Rev. Russell R. Ingersoll, who served from 1938 to 1942, and the Very Rev. Erland L. Groton, who succeeded Ingersoll and served until 1952, continued the work of building up the parish. During their tenure, the organ was moved from the front, inside the rood screen (behind where the pulpit stands today), to its present location at the rear of the church, thereby enlarging the chancel."* Subsequent disposition is unknown. -Jim Stettner
