Database Manager on June 03, 2017:

This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ.
Identified by J. A. Hefner, listing conversations with this person as the source of the information: Aaron M. Tellers (Tellers Organ Co.).
In 1906, a fire broke out near the organ, destroying it but remaining contained in the organ (http://www.stbernard-springfield.org/history.html). This Felgemaker was ordered soon thereafter (Rev. Fischer is mentioned in the factory log), shipping from the factory 19 Sept 1907.
The action isn't mentioned, but the two original blowers used 115 volt, 60Hz motors.
The organ is no longer there; a three-manual console is visible in some photos, but I don't know what it controls.
