*The date in A Guide to North American Organbuilders is 1978, apparently a typographical error. Page 28 of the 1979 Handbook contains the description of the 1862 J. G. Pfeffer organ in St. Mary-s Church (R. C.), Moselle (P.O. Villa Ridge), Missouri, with the statement that "the organ was renovated in recent years by the American Pipe Organ Co., Washington, Missouri; Raymond Churchtown was in charge of the project.�
