Updated by J. A. Hefner, listing conversations with this person as the source of the information: Catherine Wilson (Greene County Historical Society).
According to Catherine Wilson of Greene County Historical Society, First Methodist was a casualty of the 1974 tornado; the original brick church was built ca. 1845-46, expanded and remodeled in 1864, then the stone church was built in 1895 and remodeled in 1950.
It isn't clear if the organ was still there by that point. John Sale Manor (apartments) occupies that spot today.

According to the successor church's history, the two Xenia Methodist churches merged in 1970, moving into a new building in 1972. I have yet to find out how this organ was destroyed; perhaps First Methodist was destroyed in the 1974 tornado?
