Updated through online information from Scott Siciliano: Coleman was a fascinating figure, known for his philanthropy and generous treatment and provision for the workers of his businesses. Sadly, Coleman lost his entire fortune in the financial panic of 1893, and per information on Wikipedia, the organ was sold to the Reformed congregation of Myerstown (improperly noted as "Mertztown" on Wiki) by his assignees for the "bargain price of $1200."
Jim Stettner on April 17th, 2024:
This entry represents the installation of a new organ. Identified from online information from Scott Siciliano; and from the Hilborne and Frank Roosevelt by David H. Fox. The organ was relocated to the Reformed Church in Myerstown, PA. ca. 1900, and removed from there in 1925.
