2007-06-02 - Updated through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ was given by John Buck of Orland, Maine to his daughter Emmaline on the occasion of her 21st birthday. Buck sent one of his schooners to Portland, Maine to retrieve the organ along with a man from Paine & Sparrow. The organ was taken to orland by schooner, and then up the Orland river by a smaller boat. It was finally delivered to the home by oxcart. The organ remained here in this home until its purchase in 1975 by Stephen Peterson (Albany, New York). The underside of the reservoir is signed by John K.H. Paine of Paine & Sparrow. Mr. Paine was the grandfather of American composer/organist John Knowles Paine. [Manager's Note: No source cited for this information.] -Database Manager
