2017-05-03 - Updated by J. A. Hefner, listing this web site as a source of information: http://www.londonfirstpres.org/AboutUs/OurStoryPartTwo.aspx.<br> According to church history, the Felgemaker organ was presented by W. D. and Mrs. Delia Williams and installed in the 1859 brick church on the corner of Main/First streets.<br>A new church was constructed in 1916 on Walnut/Second, and the organ was apparently moved there.<br>In 1961, the congregation voted to relocate rather than renovate/expand, and the new church was constructed in 1972 on Garfield Avenue.<br>In 2003, a Bunn=Minnick 42-rank [2561 pipes] organ was installed after a fundraiser, and it contains pipes "saved from the 1901 organ whose home had once been in the Walnut Street church building".<br> Thus, the Felgemaker seems to have been installed in 1901, relocated in 1916, removed by the 1970s, and parted out by 2003. I have to see if the Walnut/Second church is still there, but I doubt any part of the Felgemaker remains there if the building even stands... -Database Manager
