1891 Story & Clark Reed Organ
Serial Number 671-51782

 
This organ belonged to my great great grandmother Laurine Rasmussen Liljenquist. It was ordered from a catalog and shipped from the midwest to Utah, most likely by train to Salt Lake City, and then by freight wagon to her home in Hyrum, Utah.

My great aunt Leona Liljenquist Jenkins inherited it from her in 1944. It was moved from Hyrum to McCammon, ID to Pocatello and eventually to Belgrade, MT. I first saw it there in 1979. I didn't know the history behind it, but I remember how neat it was.

Aunt Lee offered it to me in September, 2011. We packed it carefully and brought it back with us to Utah.
