This organ is also known from the William King work list compiled by King researcher Dr. Donald R.M. Patterson, and published in The Tracker XVI:4:1972. Patterson states the organ was replaced or rebuilt by the Link Piano Co. of Binghamton, (until 1930 primarily a builder of theater organs), in 1938, and rebuilt again by R. Wilson Ross of Elmira and Pine City in 1959. No recent details of the organ's existence or fate is known.
