This entry represents the installation of a new organ. identified from the 'Music' page f the church website which states, "We are proud to be the home to the only remaining pipe organ in Anamosa. On October 2, 1904 it was dedicated along with the new church building at the corner of Booth and First Streets. Kenneth Runkel was first organist to play on this new instrument. It was purchased from Barckhoff Pipe Organ Co. of Pomeroy, Ohio for $1,500. It has 10 ranks and 596 pipes that range in size from cylinder shaped metal pipes to large rectangle shaped wooden pipes and is of the tracker action. Some of the pipes are visible while most of the pipes and parts fill the space behind the wall. The large motor that produces the air to the bellows is in the church basement."
