Builder: Hinners Organ Co., 1926. Manuals: 2 Ranks: 10 Action: Mechanical/slider chests Notes: Notes: In 1926 the congregation purchased a pipe organ at a cost of $3,000.00. The organ originally operated by hand pumps attached to it. These were concealed by the room behind the organ. Men in the congregation took turns pumping air in order for the organist to operate. Later, boys who had been confirmed, served as pumpers while receiving modest pay. Information and photo from the church website.
