Postmarked 1913 - Church exterior (Photograph from an archival source: Vintage postcard, submitted by Jim Stettner/Jim Stettner)
Note: Not extant. Not playable. (in this location)
2006-01-08 - Identified through information adapted from <i>E. M. Skinner/Aeolian-Skinner Opus List</i>, by Sand Lawn and Allen Kinzey (Organ Historical Society, 1997), and included here through the kind permission of Sand Lawn: <br><i> 1933 Moved to First Presbyterian, Lincoln, Nebraska; gone; some pipework owned by David Spicer, Wethersfield, Connecticut, some in relocated #467.</i> -Database Manager
2019-12-30 - The date of the removal and relocation of this organ is disputed. Bill Orzell provided a clipping from the <i>Bingham Press</i> newspaper which states that the organ was still there at the funeral of the donor, Willis Sharpe Kilmer, in July of 1940.</p> <p>"As the casket was carried into the church and placed in front of the pulpit, the muted tones of the Kilmer Memorial Organ--a gift of the publisher--accentuated the solemnity." (<i>Bingham Press</i>, July 16, 1940) [the article title and page number were not included in the clipping] -Database Manager
2023-02-07 - Updated through online information from John Green, *"The date of the organ's move to Nebraska was 1983, not 1933. I was involved in the process."* -John Green
