Notes

Database Manager on June 25, 2011:

Church history books report that the church purchased its first organ on August 1, 1887, for $1,725.  It was located in the northeast corner of the church and was used for 44 years until a Kilgen organ was purchased in 1933.  The history books note that the work in 1915 was the installation of an electric motor.  Perhaps this was the work completed by Hinners.
