NOTES
The original home of this organ is unknown, though it may have come from
the Chapel at Sacred Heart Hospital in Spokane, Washington. It was moved
by Balcom and Vaughan in 1939 to the G.O. Meeker residence in Yakima,
Washington. In 1956 it was moved here. It is not known when the 8' Dul-
ciana was added.

The Kilgen has been moved within the church, and has occupied locations
at both ends of the sanctuary.
