The Moller was not destroyed in the 1936 fire, and was transplanted to Trinity Lutheran Church in Crookston by an unidentified person or firm ca. 1938.
From the Trinity Lutheran Church website, "The First English Lutheran Church was established January 14, 1914 as a branch of the Norwegian Lutheran Church because of a demand for using the English language. The group rented the Baptist Church at 205 South Ash Street and then purchased the building in 1916 when the church was organized.
In 1936, a fire destroyed the Norwegian Lutheran Church, beginning the movement to bring about a union of the Lutheran churches in Crookston. A meeting was held May 25, 1936, but no formal union was made. The congregations agreed to form a federation and extended a call to the Rev. Abner S. Haugen. The four congregations continued to operate as a Federation until December 14, 1938 when the group was incorporated under the name of Trinity Lutheran Church."
Updated through online information from Richard C Greene. -- The congregation joined with three other Lutheran congregations in the city to form the new Trinity Lutheran Church in 1938. What happened to the organ is not known.
Identified through information in List of More than 5200 Moller Pipe Organs (Hagerstown, Maryland. M. P. Möller, 1928).
