- Donald Williams (1939-2005) was organist at Zion Lutheran Church in Ann Arbor from 1963 to 1995. Around 1982 he bought an organ from Robert Noehren for his home in Ann Arbor. It was his opus 1, built around 1954 for his own use. It was renovated and relocated by Noehren. It consists of five ranks. It is not enclosed in a swell box, which is unusual for American organs of this time.
- Donald Williams died on September 22, 2005 in Chelsea, Michigan. It is not known what happened to the organ.
