Notes

2007-11-28 - Identified from factory documents and publications courtesy of Stephen Schnurr. -Database Manager

2021-10-16 - Updated through online information from Jeff Anderson. -- Moller Opus 5472 has been removed from the Lutheran Church in Boone, NC. It is now privately owned by me. -Jim Stettner

2021-10-19 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- It seems likely that the Moller got removed from Bethany Lutheran - which was formed in 1954 from the merger of three older Lutheran congregations: -Mt. Pleasant Lutheran Church (of Big Hill Road, founded 1845) -Old Mt. Pleasant Lutheran Church (of Big Hill Road, founded by split with Mt. Pleasant in 1922) -Mt. Zion (of Meat Camp, founded in 1896). -Jim Stettner

2021-10-22 - After Boone, the organ was relocated to an unidentified church in Lenoir, North Carolina by an undocumented person or firm. -Jim Stettner
