DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
Updated through online information from William Dunklin.
A vintage postcard ca 1914 shows the organ front left with a 2-sided case. Simple pipe fences face the nave and chancel. The attached console is screened from view with a small curtain. An article in the Herald-Whig newspaper dated September 26, 2014 says the church "bought the hand-carved altar, the focal point of the church, about 1902. The original altar was used to fashion the altar rail and pulpit..., and the congregation uses a pipe organ built in 1914." These items are visible in the post card image.
