Jim Stettner on March 17, 2023:

This entry represents the installation of a used organ, but 'new' to this congregation. It was originally built for the Sisters of Providence in Saint Mary of the Woods, Indiana. It was purchased for $700.00 by a gentleman named Don Wilson for his home, but turned-out to be too big. He donated it to Unity Presbyterian Church.
