Description

By the time the congregation's brick church was erected in 1939, Slavia had electricity! A new "electric reed organ" was purchased for the church and placed in an alcove on the south wall, near a side door to the building. Previous to this purchase, the church had only a hand-pumped organ for hymn accompaniment and two men typically took turns pumping the bellows to force air through the reeds. Now the organist could turn on a switch and power up the organ! Scan from church publication: "Fifty Years of Grace and Mercy 1912-1962."
