A bit of research has revealed that J. A. Hultman was a Swedish 
evangelist/hymnist from the first part of the 20th century. Here is his 
story
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_Alfred_Hultman
The fold up organ (no doubt a reed organ) he used for touring is 
preserved in Chicago at the North Park College and Center for 
Scandinavian Studies

There evidently are quite a number of records on Columbia, Beka Spezial 
and Clariton
