Program On DeMoulin Museum To Be Offered At Carlinville Library

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.”
