Family history indicates my grandmother taught at a small school in "Cottonwood" in Northwest Missouri. I'm not really sure that Cottonwood is actually a town, maybe that was just the name for the school. She was born and lived in the Maryville area . Does "Cottonwood" sound familiar to anyone? Thanks, Lynda
