I remember reading a similar story in a Readers Digest book, 40 or more years ago. The boy who came to visit was a grandson, It was a old organ, that had belonged to grandpas parents. Great Grandpa had bought it for Great Grandmaw when he left for the war between the states. He never returned home. The man no longer played it, and the grandma had arthritis problems. So they decided to give it to their church. They got Grandma high on apple cider, then started the Rumley Oil Pull which hadn"t been started since threshing season, (whats the chances of that) loaded the organ on a sled. Grandpa played out and a couple of neighbor kids went on to the church with the boy. They could not lift the organ up into the church. A man in a Civil war uniform appeared and helped they put it in, then dissappeared before there eyes. The next morning they went to church and the grandpa was so moved, that he walked up to the organ, sat down and played it for the first time in 60 or 70 years.
