history:
The organ (tubular pneumatic) was installed in the current
sanctuary in 1914, with a dedicatory recital in April of 1915.
The organ was electrified (electro pneumatic) with a new console
in 1955.
A complete restoration of the organ was done in 1981 by J. E. Cave
Organ Co. of Evansville, IN.
The Chimes were added in 1983.
The organ is in excellent playing condition and continues to be
well maintained by the church.
