Notes

2012-07-05 - Identified through online information from Ron Yeater. -- The Lyon & Healey organ may have been rebuilt by the Moline Organ Co. prior to the Wicks work. Records are unclear! -Database Manager

2012-07-06 - Updated through online information from Ron Yeater. -- When the cathedral installed the Wolff tracker in 1979, the Wicks organ was relocated to St. Paul's Episcopal in Durant, Iowa, where it was more recently broken up for parts. -Database Manager
