2014-04-04 - Upon the death of Mr. Moller in 1937, the house and organ were sold. The organ went to First Methodist Church, Panama City, Florida, where it was destroyed by fire in 1978. -Database Manager

2016-07-26 - Updated through online information from Randall Dyer. <br>The Moller Delray Beach house organ (#6050) was not destroyed in a fire, at First United Methodist Church, Panama City, Florida. It was sold in 1976, to Fred Shofner, of Knoxville, Tennessee, for installation in his home, whereupon it was replaced at the Panama City church by Casavant #3304. That organ burned in June of 1978, and was replaced by Casavant #3444 in 1979.<br><br>In 2003, after having stored the Moller organ for nearly 30 years, Dr. Shofner donated it to Church Street United Methodist Church, in Knoxville, where several ranks were used in a redesign and enlargement of that church's organ by Randall Dyer & Assoc., Inc. (See Database no. 19049, for details of disbursement of pipes from MPM #6050). -Database Manager
