Story is that back in the early 1900s, four of them were bought in our community -- the church bought one, my great-grandfather bought one, his brother-in-law bought one, and my mother's uncle bought one. They were all built in a walnut cabinet. I don't know what happened to the other three. My oldest sister's mother-in-law also used to have a pump organ in her home. Around here lot of folks called them "bellows" organs (not sure about the spelling).R. L.
