Notes

2004-10-30 - Originally built with a Tubular pneumatic pedal action, but changed in the original installation to mechanical action. To storage in Duluth, MN in 1972 Then through OCH to Good Shepherd Lutheran, Chicago, IL in 1987. -Database Manager

2022-04-11 - The organ was built in late 1891, as evidenced by December dates marked on interior parts. Some employees' signatures also appear. The chests are marked "Moline Pipe Organ Company," the name of the firm before the title Lancashire-Marshall was adopted that year. The stylized letters "MPOCo" referring to the afore1nentioned Moline are also cast into the Swell pedal. The organ was apparently a memorial gift to Church of the Redeemer, as a dedication plaque on the keydesk cover reads: "To the Glory of God and in Loving Remembrance of James Edwards. Born July 3d 1823, in Monmonthshire, South Wales. Departed this Life in Scranton, Penn. June 11th 1885. -- *2002 OHS Handbook* -Paul R. Marchesano
