NOTES
This organ was originally built for Cassady & Allen Mortuary in Tacoma, and is believed
to have been here for 50 years.
Ca. 1984, it was purchased by a private party in Vancouver, B.C., Canada where it was
installed in a trailer home. When the owners planned on moving to a house boat, they
offered the instrument for sale for $3,000.00 (U.S.).
It was purchased by Dennis & Carol Coerber of rural Everett, Washington in 1989 for
$2,750.00, and was installed in their home by them. After its installation it was tuned
by Herb Heustis of Pt. Roberts, WA. and Vancouver, B.C.
The organ was again relocated in May of 2010, this time to the home of Ken and Dolores
Norton of Tacoma, Washington.
