    3. My grandmother Clara Armm was born on the Wilson farm at Kincaid Hill in 1885. The family John and Clara Armm then moved to Murphysboro where he was a carpenter. They lived on 11th Street there. There were nine children in the family and the mother Clara taught piano as well as raised the children. My grandmother went to Murphysboro public schools but switched to a German school after sixth grade so sometime in the mid 1890s. Does anyone know what German School there may have been and what became of it and its records? I have been told John Armm was on the public School Board in Mt. Pleasant in 1885 but I have no other hint that he served on any other school boards. I don't know what church they attended but I gather German schools were often attached to German speaking churches. The Armm family was originally Swiss and I think the family of Clara Wilson Armm, the Wilson's, was English. Thank you. Shirley Maul Poughkeepsie, NY
