Notes

2004-10-30/2024-11-21 - From the OHS PC Database, derived from A Guide to North American Organbuilders, by David H. Fox (Richmond, Va.: Organ Historical Society, 1991). — Active in Portsmouth, Virginia, 1912. Source: The Diapason: November 1912, 3.  

2024-11-18/2024-11-21 - The entry "Gant, C. E." in David Fox's Guide to North American Organbuilders, identical in both the 1991 and 1997 editions, is an error for Casper Eldred Grant. Fox's source is "Work Is Done by C. E. Grant: Portsmouth (Va.) Man Has Busy Summer with Several Organs," The Diapason, November 1912, 3. The text of the brief article reads as follows: C. E. Grant of Portsmouth, Va., has had a busy summer. He rebuilt a two-manual organ in the Methodist church of Goldsboro, N. C., and another in St. James' church, Richmond. In addition to these he built a pneumatic two-manual organ at Portsmouth, rebuilt a small two-manual in the Baptist church at Portsmouth and still another two-manual instrument in the Methodist church of his home town.
