Notes

Database Manager on January 30, 2013:

Updated through online information from Hugh McHarry.  -- The organ was modified with an electric action before it was removed.  Some pipes are still playing in a newer organ at the Presbyterian church in Green Valley, Illinois. -- There was a pedalboard.  I don't remember the specifications.

Rebuilt and electrified (one source says [John L.?] Becker another Plog Organ Co. using Wicks chests) .  Later work by Richard Lurth. Then dismantled about 1987 and replaced by electronic. Some pipework in the Dial organ at First Presbyterian Church, Green Valley, IL.
