I have in my possession a picture of Lura McNish. She is standing in front of Reed Jr. High in Springfield, MO. The date on the back is 1923. It also says she was a General Science teacher. This school opened in 1923 and my grandmother was the secretary to the principal there. I found this picture in her possessions and would like to return it to a family member. >From personal research I found that Lura A. McNish was a lodger in the home of Louisa A. Wall, according to the 1930 Fed Census of Springfield, Greene Co, MO. They lived on N. Jefferson Ave, not too far from Reed. There was another teacher listed in this household as well. I also found a Lura A. McNish in Linn Co, MO, Rose Hill and St. Michael Brookfield cemetery records. Her DOB was 19 Dec 1891, DOD 14 Mar 1954. She never married as school teachers at that time could not be married and still teach. In the Brookfield High School grads of 1905, for Linn Co, MO, there is a Loren McNish listed. Could this be a brother or some relation to her? In the records of Bowden Funeral Home 1895-1896, in Linn Co, MO, there is a Lavina McNish age 76, funeral ordered by Am Nish and Havens. Died July 20, buried July 21. Could this possibly be some relation as well? If I can't find a relation, I will donate to the school if they have a wall of history. I have posted to Linn Co, MO list and Rootsweb with no results. Thank you Susan Martin
