Paul R. Marchesano on September 25, 2022:

The Church was founded in 1871. The organ was moved to Christ Lutheran Church in Woodstock, New York in 1971, either replaced as part of its centennial or the church closed then. It (the domestic nonprofit corporation entity of the church) was dissolved at some point in time and no longer exists.
