By Tom Emery John Goldsmith has a good reason why the story of DeMoulin Brothers & Co. in Greenville means so much to him. “My mother, Norma, was a fifty-year employee of the company, until her passing in 2007,” said Goldsmith. “At her urging, I became involved in her hobby of preserving the DeMoulin history.” That led to Goldsmith becoming the factory historian, the DeMoulin family’s genealogist, and the founder of a museum in Greenville to the DeMoulin story.
