"The bell tower and Deagan chimes, now an integral part of Eugene, were installed in 1926. They were dedicated in the memory of many; one of whom was Ray Goodrich, by his daughter, Martha, who was an active member of this congregation until her death in 1996. The Deagan Company went out of business in 1957 after building over 400 sets of chimes which are to this day still considered the finest tower chimes ever made. Nearly three-fourths of these fine instruments have either fallen into disrepair or have been replaced with electronic systems."
