Notes

2004-10-30 - Status Note: There 2001. -Database Manager

2004-10-30 - Donated by Mrs. Cressie Thomas Havens. The Skinner company was close to bankruptcy and Rev. Morris spent many days in Reading making sure that the money donated for the organ went into its assembly and not to any other use. -Database Manager

2008-07-03 - Updated through online information from Brad McClain. -- Visited this church last month. There are very few, if any, Skinner pipes left in the organ as it was replaced by an Austin. The Austin is currently maintained by Thad Reynolds of Marion, Indiana -Database Manager

2012-08-29 - Updated through online information from Matt Gerhard. -Database Manager

2015-02-13 - Updated through online information from William Dunklin. -- According to the church website "In 1962 a contract was signed with the Austin Company of Springfield, Illinois, for the installation of a new organ and the old one (Skinner) was sold for $400." Also, the Skinner apparently replaced an earlier organ which stood in a free standing case, front and center of the church, seen in a vintage postcard, but which is too faint to reproduce. -Database Manager
