Stettner, listing this website as a source of information: https://www.facebook.com/groups/48229809622/?multi_permalinks=10156173141574623¬if_id=1517233074794033¬if_t=group_activity&ref=notif.<br>Organ builder Peter Jones of the U.K. made a post in both the Facebook groups, Pipe Organ Tuners and Pipe Organ Builders Group in which he asked, "Does anyone have any information about the Schaefer organ, presently walled up in its chamber, in Saint Lawrence Catholic Church, Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin? Anything about the action or condition of this 3-rank extension organ, or the reason it was abandoned, decades ago, would be of interest." David Bohn of Wisconsin replied, "St. Lawrence Catholic in Wisconsin Rapids is listed for 1932 on the partial opus list I have; based on the opus number, they considered it a rebuild of an existing instrument, not an original work (which still could involve the use of pipework from an existing instrument)."
