Database Manager on November 13, 2018:

Updated by Alan Martin, the builder.

In 1971, I removed this organ, installing some ranks in other instruments across north TX and southern OK. The Great and Swell divisions were installed in my home until I was married. We moved to a larger home, put the organ in storage where it was destroyed by 1979 tornado. The church installation has been replaced by another relocated pipe organ by the present organist and other church members. Details to follow when verified.
