Notes

2004-10-30/2019-04-29 - From the OHS PC Database, derived from A Guide to North American Organbuilders, by David H. Fox (Richmond, Va.: Organ Historical Society, 1991). - Member of the Journeymen Church Organ Builders' Association,* 1898. *The Journeymen Church Organ Builders' Association was formed in New York City, New York, around 1891. The membership rolls for the years 1898 and 1899 were donated to the OHS Archives as part of the Mohr family collection; Louis F. Mohr was the financial secretary of the association for those two years.-Ed. F.H. Symmes is almost certainly Frank Herbert Symmes (BuilderID 6043). The entry on F.H. Symmes in the 1991 edition of David Fox-s Guide was deleted in the 1997 revised edition, but the information in it was not added to the entry on Frank Herbert Symmes. -Ed.
