Notes

2010-07-09 - Identified through online information from Chad Boorsma -- The organ was originally owned by Hope College, also in Holland. It was purchased by St. Francis when Hope received a new J. W. Walker & Sons instrument. Bill Swem moved the organ to St. Francis' chapel in 1998; Swem and Phil Konczyk later moved it to the sanctuary in 2008. -Database Manager
