This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
Restored in 2008 by Philip Hoening.
Paul R. Marchesano on August 10th, 2021:
"The organ is free-standing in the rear gallery of this edifice, built in 1866. No blower has ever been installed in this instrument, which is still hand-pumped. The organ has its original wooden leaf springs on its single-rise reservoir. The projecting keydesk has round shanks and oblique knobs.
The original [previous] pipe organ was destroyed in a fire which gutted the church in 1885. The building was repaired in 1886. According to History of St. Patrick's Church Armagh Franklin County, Mo. by Ellen Meara Dolan, undated but written c. 1974 and copyrighted by St. Patrick's (Old Rock Church) Preservation Society, the instrument came from Tennessee and cost $320." -- 1979 OHS Handbook
