Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- Information for this entry was taken from the parish website, "The pipe organ, built by the George Kilgen & Sons, Inc. of St. Louis, Missouri, was installed in 1929-30 at a cost of $12,000, this sum donated through the estate of parishioner, Mrs. Eugenie Young, in memory of her daughter, Marie Young, with the stipulation that the interior of the church be painted at the same time. A recital was given April 22, 1930, by Walter Flandorf, a famed Chicago organist who had performed at the Vatican, Carnegie Hall and St. Patrick-s Cathedral. The Kilgen organ is one of the few remaining examples of what is known as a 'Romantic Organ.' It has two swell boxes, one with choir division and one with swell division. It plays on six inches of wind pressure. The six inches are determined by a manometer, a U-shaped tube. When pressure is exerted, water rises to six inches."
