Five of the organ's six ranks were retained from the previous 1904 Barckhoff. The Swell 8' Trumpet was the new rank.
Jack Umholtz on August 25th, 2023:
Per Christ's United Lutheran Church, Ashland, PA's website, in 1969, St. Paul's, along with 4 other area Lutheran congregations, joined together as one parish, but continued to worship in their home buildings as "chapels" for the new parish.
In 1992, a new building was erected, and Christ's United Lutheran Church closed the chapels and began to worship together in the new building.
St. Paul's Congregation split in 1992, with 1/2 of the congregation wanting to keep the local St. Paul's facility open and the other 1/2 going to the new, joint facility.
The congregation carried on for another 18 or so years, then St. Paul's sold the building to the Synod in 2010, and the Synod sold the building to a private individual in 2011, with the organ still in it.
The building now is vacant and awaiting its next function.
As of this writing, the disposition of the organ is not known.
