Paul R. Marchesano on December 20th, 2021:
From Philip Stapert, sexton and organist of the church: I did some research into the history of the organ at my church, First Presbyterian Church in Escanaba, Michigan. It is originally Hook and Hastings Opus 2368 and now Lauck Opus 62. I attached an article I wrote on the history of the organ and a detailed specification. Most of the information comes from correspondence in 1942 between Roye M. Rogers, J.H. McGaw, and the church, and in 2007-2009 between James Lauck and the church. I would like to make one correction to the information in the Database. The organ was originally built for the home of Roye M. Rogers in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, not Grand Rapids, Michigan. I believe the confusion comes from the fact that Wisconsin Rapids was known as Grand Rapids, Wisconsin at the time when the organ was built, but the town's name was changed to Wisconsin Rapids.
