Notes

2005-01-08 - Information identifying this instrument from the Austin Organs, Inc. web site, accessed December 31, 2004: http://www.austinorgans.com/organ-research.htm. -Database Manager

2007-03-18 - Updated through online information from Brian Fowler -- The organ was expanded sometime shortly after it was installed to the present 8 ranks. It is still in use but in poor condition and needs attention. The name of the funeral home has changed to Estes Leadley & Company -Database Manager

2015-08-06 - The expression shades open into a narrow hallway just behind the grillework. Currently the Oboe and Clarabella ranks are not playing due to water damage. -Database Manager
