Notes

2023-08-31 - This entry represents the removal, electrification, enlargement, and reinstallation on an existing organ from the parish's previous (2nd) edific to the new (3rd) edifice. Identified from online information from Rev. Joseph Havrilka: *"The original Wicks Organ was moved from the second church in 1926 to the present (third) church. At that time, two ranks were added and the action was changed from tubular pneumatic to direct electric."* -Jim Stettner

2023-08-31 - The size is listed on the Wicks opus list as 3-2 (3 ranks, 2-manals). It is not clear whether this indicates new organ, or perhaps 3 ranks were added to the transplanted Wicks rather than two. -Jim Stettner
