Notes

2009-03-14 - Identified through on-line information from James C. Burke, Ph.D.. -- This organ was installed by A.F. Clarke of Atlanta, GA in 1903. It was repaired and a blower installed in 1917. From direct observation, the instrument appeared to date from the 1880s. It was in working order during the late 1970s, the blower was disabled some times in the 1980s, and the instrument was dismantled in 2002. Additional information is needed.

Wilmington, NC: New Hanover County Library, North Carolina Room. -Database Manager

2009-03-14 - N.B. -- St. Mark's Wilmington does not appear on the Hook opus lists; the organ may have been relocated from an institution in Georgia, given the installation by someone from Atlanta. -Database Manager
