Database Manager on November 28th, 2015:

The organ was dedicated by the church's consultant, Dr. James Boeringer, on October 28, 1979.


Database Manager on July 13th, 2011:

Updated through online information from Paul Marchesano. -- In the prior history of the organ, someone had added notes to the pedal board. In the restoration project, Jim McFarland decided to keep with the tradition, expanding the pedal board and Pedal Bourdon by one or two notes to bring it to a normal compass.


Database Manager on October 30th, 2004:

The original builder was John G. Marklove (c. 1865).
