NOTES
This instrument was originally built for this location.
It was removed by Clark Hale and Richard Schneider from Millikin in the 1980's
and relocated to the residence of Clark and Mary Waldmier of Decatur, Illinois.
The Waldmiers later sold the organ and it was acquired by Arthur Hixson of Olympia,
Washington for $1,000.00. Mr. Hixson drove to Illinois to retrieve the organ. It
was stored but never set-up in Olympia. It was subsequently purchased by Sean Griggs
of Seattle, Washington for his Ballard neighborhood residence.
