Notes

2014-08-08 - Identified from the David H. Fox book, *Hilborne and Frank Roosevelt* (OHS Press, 2nd edition, © 2012, 2015). -Database Manager

2024-04-17 - This entry represents the installation of a used organ. The Roosevelt was replaced by a new Moller Op. 4251 ca. 1925. -Jim Stettner

2024-04-17 - Updated through online information from Scott Siciliano: This magnificent organ was removed in 1925 and replaced with Moller #4251. I do not know if this instrument was relocated, or if any of the Roosevelt pipes were incorporated into Moller's instrument. Per the congregation's website (myerstownucc.org), "An annex was built in 1900 and a three manual pipe organ was installed. Per my research, the organ was the Roosevelt organ built for the Cornwall (Lebanon County), PA. home of Robert H. Coleman, know as "the Iron King." -Jim Stettner
