Paul R. Marchesano on February 15th, 2024:

Information from Keith Williams: The organ in the church is a 2 manual and pedal mechanical action organ, but the nameplate reads Marshall-Bennett. Internal writing also indicates that this organ was moved here in 1930.

Jim Stettner on November 4th, 2022:

This entry represents the installation of a used organ in a new location and for a new owner. Identified from church Facebook photos. Further information from the church via Facebook Messenger, "The organ was donated and installed here in 1930. It was built by the Marshall Bennett firm out of the quad cities. It is their Opus 115, which puts the date of original construction around 1904-1906." [Ed. Note: Marshall-Bennett was formed in 1902].

Opus 115 was originally built for the Christian Science Church of Peoria, Illinois.
