Jim Stettner on September 16th, 2021:

Identified through information on the Evansville AGO website, -- "The first pipe organ was installed in 1909 by Edmund Giesecke of Evansville. It probably contained eleven ranks. Half of the $2025 cost was provided by the Carnegie Foundation. Originally the Giesecke organ was powered by a water motor. It was "electrified" in 1922."
