Hefner, listing this website as a source of information: https://www.lec.edu/Content/uploads/Alumni-Magazine-Spring-2011.pdf.<br>Mentioned in an alumni newsletter, this organ is visible in a promotional postcard commissioned by A. B. Felgemaker Co., ca. 1908 [the same series as the Erie Central Presbyterian organ postcard]. Memorial Hall was constructed in 1890, and this organ was installed in the auditorium/chapel at some point thereafter.<br><br>According to the newsletter, this organ was one of many items destroyed in a fire that consumed Memorial Hall, early morning on 13 April 1957.<br>There is only one part of the organ known to survive: a wooden pipe, which alumnus Donna (Elslager) Davis -60 purchased at National Alumni Board auction, then returned to the college at Alumni Weekend 2010. -Database Manager
