Notes: The organ was donated by Mrs. Emily A. Zollikoffer in memory of her late husband; it was installed in the front of the nave behind a simple facade. The organ remained in use until it was replaced in 1971 by a 2/14 Gress-Miles in the rear gallery; the Skinner facade remains today. (The church was renamed St. Luke Lutheran Church in 1993.) The Skinner was sold and put in storage in British Columbia. In 1985, it was installed in Our Saviour's Lutheran Church, Bellingham, Wash., by Herb Heustis. It is in regular use there and is unaltered.
