Identified from the following sources:

"A New Organ" ("Local News" column), Lawrence (KS) Republican Daily Journal, Sunday morning, April 10, 1870, [3], Newspapers.com, https://www.newspapers.com/image/59539563. (See under "Documents.")

"The Great Organ," Kansas Daily Tribune (Lawrence), Saturday, April 23, 1870, [3], Newspapers.com, https://www.newspapers.com/image/61054428. (See under "Documents." In the stoplist, "58 pipes" for the "Mixture, 3 ranks" on the Great must be an error for "174 pipes.")

Scot L. Huntington, Barbara Owen, Stephen L. Pinel, and Martin R. Walsh, Johnson Organs, 1844–1898: Wm. A. Johnson, Johnson Organ Co., Johnson & Son: A Documentary Issued in Honor of the Two Hundredth Anniversary of His Birth, 1816–2016 (Cranbury, NJ: The Princeton Academy of the Arts, Culture, and Society, 2015), 81: Opus number: 316; location: Congregational Church, Lawrence, Kan.; number of manuals: 2; number of registers, 25. "Cost $4,000. Replaced by a 3-38, Reuter Organ Co., Op. 79, 1922 instrument, and subsequently by another Reuter, Op. 1722, in 1970. Some parts of the Johnson case (designed by the church architect, John Haskell), were reused in the 1922 instrument, and reworked for the later organ. A fire in the 1950s seems to have necessitated a new console, reused in the 1970 instrument."
