Updated through online information from John Green, "The date of the organ's move to Nebraska was 1983, not 1933. I was involved in the process."
Database Manager on December 30th, 2019:
The date of the removal and relocation of this organ is disputed. Bill Orzell provided a clipping from the Bingham Press newspaper which states that the organ was still there at the funeral of the donor, Willis Sharpe Kilmer, in July of 1940.
"As the casket was carried into the church and placed in front of the pulpit, the muted tones of the Kilmer Memorial Organ--a gift of the publisher--accentuated the solemnity." (Bingham Press, July 16, 1940) [the article title and page number were not included in the clipping]
Database Manager on January 8th, 2006:
Identified through information adapted from E. M. Skinner/Aeolian-Skinner Opus List, by Sand Lawn and Allen Kinzey (Organ Historical Society, 1997), and included here through the kind permission of Sand Lawn:
1933 Moved to First Presbyterian, Lincoln, Nebraska; gone; some pipework owned by David Spicer, Wethersfield, Connecticut, some in relocated #467.
