- Henry Erben built a new organ for Saint Mary's RC Church in Portland, Connecticut, in 1876. The instrument was relocated to Saint Michael's Church in Haverhill, Massachusetts, via the Organ Clearing House in 1977. The company E.A. Kelley Associates restored the instrument and installed it on the new location.
- The church of Saint Michael the Archangel in Haverhill was founded 1901 by Polish immigrants. But because of the declining parish the church was closed after a last service on August 29, 1998. The building was sold and is currently in use by the Iglesia Pentecostal Unidos En Santidad De Avivmiento Inc. This congregation does not use a pipe organ during their services.
