Hefner, listing this website as a source of information: https://www.flickr.com/photos/showalter_solutions/17047578539/in/album-72157651703263710/<br> See https://www.flickr.com/photos/showalter_solutions/17047578539/in/album-72157651703263710/<br>This image predates the 1979 organ installation; it appears the Felgemaker was electrified and the console replaced. Perhaps this occurred in the 1920s after the electric blower's installation.

Updated by J. A. Hefner <br> <br>The church history booklet mentions the organ was hand-pumped when first installed 1889, water power for the organ was installed 1892-3, and it was rebuilt with an electric motor in 1919 thanks to a $3376 bequest.<br><br>In 1979, Dr. Noehren built the current organ; no information on the Felgemaker's fate.

Updated through online information from William Dunklin. <br>The congregation, now First United Methodist Church, still occupies this building as of 2016. The congregation now owns a Robert Noehren organ which stands behind a modern case. Fate of the Felgemaker is unknown.
