Database Manager on October 30th, 2004:

In 1884 a new church building was built at a cost of $40,000. Unknown if the 1868 organ from the previous edifice may have been relocated here and served until 1894 when a new organ was purchased.

St. Stephen and St. James merged in 1962. Some pipes from St. James Lutheran's Wicks added in 1960's.
