Eastern Standard Time, [email protected] writes: In sorting my family tree materials I have run across a 1906 Palmyra High School Commencement Exercises pamphlet. Does Macoupin County have a museum that I could donate it to? It was among a few pictures of my grandfather Clinton Ebert LeMarr's. He and his siblings were teachers and a few of the pictures are of them and their pupils but I have no idea who the students are or what schools they were taken at.
