Updated by J. A. Hefner, listing this web site as a source of information: http://www.londonfirstpres.org/AboutUs/OurStoryPartTwo.aspx.
According to church history, the Felgemaker organ was presented by W. D. and Mrs. Delia Williams and installed in the 1859 brick church on the corner of Main/First streets.
A new church was constructed in 1916 on Walnut/Second, and the organ was apparently moved there.
In 1961, the congregation voted to relocate rather than renovate/expand, and the new church was constructed in 1972 on Garfield Avenue.
In 2003, a Bunn=Minnick 42-rank [2561 pipes] organ was installed after a fundraiser, and it contains pipes "saved from the 1901 organ whose home had once been in the Walnut Street church building".
Thus, the Felgemaker seems to have been installed in 1901, relocated in 1916, removed by the 1970s, and parted out by 2003. I have to see if the Walnut/Second church is still there, but I doubt any part of the Felgemaker remains there if the building even stands...
