Database Manager on March 29th, 2014:

Original installation of a new pipe organ. -- Relocated to McCandless Hall of Athens College presumably by Pilcher when the church purchased a new organ from that firm.
It is possible that the Celeste was a substitution for a different stop, even though the engraving on all stops seem to be of the same period. One of those engraved knobs is for the "Blower," which was more than likely labeled differently when the organ was new, and the engraving style is unlike other Kilgen stopknobs of the period.
