Notes

2023-11-25 - This entry represents the moving and reinstallation of the parish's existing used Hook organ from the old church to the new [present] church. -Jim Stettner

2023-11-25 - Identified by Timothy E. Conyers, using information found in a Manuscript, "History of St. Paul's Episcopal Church" by Lulu M. Likens, June 1906. --* "The instrument was originally at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Richmond, Indiana, from 1858 to 1892. A history of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, written June 1906, by Lulu M. Likens, records, "It proved to be one of the best organs ever used in Richmond. It was later sold to St. Mary's Catholic church, [Richmond, Indiana] where it is still used." When the present St. Mary's Church was built in 1909 at 720 North A Street, the organ was supposedly moved to the new building."* -Jim Stettner
