This entry represents the installation of a new organ. Identified through online information from Nathan Bienz [October 10, 2025]: Although Martini Lutheran Church was organized in 1853, the first record of an organ at Martini only dates to 1881. At a meeting in August of that year, the voters decided to sell the melodeon which had proven too weak to accompany congregational singing and to purchase a new pipe organ in its place. On November 6, 1881, the congregation decided to purchase a $700 instrument, which it seems was installed sometime in 1882. Unfortunately, no further information on that instrument could be found. It was replaced in 1925 with an instrument from Treu Pipe Organ Co. of St. Louis, MO.
