2019-11-20/2019-11-20 - From Organ Database Builders editor Stephen Hall, November 19, 2019. — Excerpts from Organ Update in The Tracker 34:4: The 1884 Moline 1-10 tracker in its original home at Central Presbyterian Church, Muncy, Pennsylvania, has received restorative repairs from Columbia Organ Works of Columbia, Pennsylvania. [material omitted] According to John Speller of the Columbia firm, the founder of a Moline, Illinois, furniture factory, Eddie Touhey, recorded his employment with the organ firm on a panel from the original reservoir which survives inside the organ and reads, "Eddie Touhey/ 19 years old/Molien [sic] lll./ Molien Pipe Organ Company/ Feb. 22 / 1884." Dr. Speller reports that the initials "N. F. S." and the name "N. F. Stahl" occur on the woodwork of the organ in several places, but a connection between those marks and the Stahl Organ Co., in business ca. 1897-1929 in Maywood, Illinois, is unknown.
