Randall E. Wagner on May 9th, 2021:
**Church built a new building in a different location in 1975 and incorporated this entire organ including console in an instrument by Delaware Organ Co., Inc., Tonawanda, NY. Homer Blanchard was consultant and Josef Schäfer of Klais Orgelbau designed the case. In 2006 the Delaware/Blanchard was sold to David Richards of Allegheny Pipe Organ Co. and is in storage as of this date. The church no longer has a pipe organ.**
