Carl Barckhoff [Sr]
1890

from 2025 AIO Convention Handbook: "The organ at St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church (St. John’s on the Hillside) was donated by a member of the parish,
Ferdinand Kieckhefer, and purchased for $3,500. Presumably, the instrument was installed before the completion of the building in July 1890. It was built by Carl Barckhoff, Sr., in Salem, Ohio, as a two-manual and pedal, 33-rank instrument, with mechanical key and stop action (likely with some type of pneumatic assist) and tubular-pneumatic Pedal action."
