Updated by William M. Worden, who gave this as the source of the information: I know the history of the buildings..

This Felgemaker would have been installed in the combination school and church building dedicated by the parish on December 20, 1908. The very fine church dedicated in 1924 has a Möller listed in the database as Opus 3858 of 1924 with later rebuilds. I do not know the fate of the Felgemacher.

Database Manager on September 02, 2018:

The Felgemaker was installed in the church space in what is now regarded as the school building. That building was dedicated on December 20, 1908 and served as both church and school until the permanent church was completed in 1924. Moller Opus 3858 was installed in the newly completed church in 1924. (William M. Worden, Sept. 1, 2018)
