2014-02-12 - Updated through online information from Shawn P. Keith. -Database Manager
2014-03-28 - Updated through online information from Shawn P. Keith. -- This organ will be removed to storage prior to the building's demolition in July 2014. At this time the ultimate fate of the organ is uncertain, though it will almost certainly be preserved and put to use. The owning congregation (the combined congregations of St. Mary's and St. Mathias in Muscatine) is to store the organ while deciding a course of action for their current instrument located in the St. Mathias building. -Database Manager
2014-09-19 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- According to the September 2014 eNotes newsletter from Bedient, they removed this organ in August 2014, and it will be re-installed in St. Patrick Catholic Church in Lincoln, NE. -Database Manager
