Notes

2005-04-07 - Identified through information in Volume VII p. 168 of the Pilcher factory ledger and the list of Pilcher organs typed by William E. Pilcher of Louisville. For more information see the document referenced below. -Database Manager

2009-04-17 - Updated through on-line information from Kevin M. Clemens. -- This instrument was replaced in the 1960's by a large four manual Tellers Organ of Erie, PA. To my knowledge Tellers did not use any of the Pilcher pipe work, since all of the pipe work looks new. -Database Manager

2011-08-28 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- Replaced by 4-manual Tellers in 1967. -Database Manager
