Past President Frank Garrett and member Ron Junkin, on the right, are shown with an 1884 Story & Clark Pump Organ which belonged to Mary Doll of Shreve. The hymnal belonged to Ben Doll, brother of Mary. The organ was donated to the County Line Historical Society by Beulah Bishop of Ashland and is on display. The heirs of Mary Doll have been very careful and very good stewards of this organ which is in good condition. The society is very grateful of this gift.
