Alma Industrial College
Contributed by Mrs. Laurelie L. Reddy, Box 728, Orion, Ill. 61273
One of the papers in Isaac Maulding’s pension file was on letterhead from the Alma Industrial College.
I don’t know how long this college was in existence, and don’t recall having read much about it, but maybe it will help someone.
The following names were included on the letterhead:
Trustees:
W.S. Ross, President
W.H. Boles
J.W. Ross
N.D. Laughlin, Sec.
S.C. Pullen
Faculty:
W.H. Boles, A.M., Pres.
Marion Boles, A.M. V. Pres.
W.F. Aydlott, A.M.
N.D. Laughlin, A.M.
A.J. Hayes, M.D.
Miss Jessie E. Day
T.B. McCartan, Sec.
The only one I can identify is T.B. McCartan. He was Thomas B. McCartan who married Nannie Spitler.
Thomas and Nannie were the parents of Charles E. McCartan.
Charles married Elsie Maulding and after she died, he married her sister, Sarah Etta Maulding.
The Maulding sisters were my great-aunts. Aunt Etta died in Centralia 9 July 1977, at the age of 99.

”The Kinmundy Express” - Feb. 19, 1948:
“Alma P.T.A. Buys Projector: The P.T.A. of Alma School succeeded in getting a new projector for the school. For sometime the need of a projector for the village of Alma has been noted. But due to shortage of funds and the high cost of a projector no effort was made to get it. The P.T.A. at the close of the school year 1946-47 had decided to purchase a duplicating machine which cost $125. This was to be paid for at the beginning of this term. This debt had to be taken care of. It was paid by means of the small amount on hands and by the money that was made by the children on their premiums from the County Fair on school work. Then to finish the projector a bingo party was given. A goodly sum was received from this which finished paying for the duplicator and left a nest egg to use for the projector. The P.T.A. in it’s first meeting of the current year, voted to raise money to buy the projector or if not enough money was raised, to continue the project into the next year. A Harvest Carnival was held in November. Total receipts from this amounted to $250.01. Limericks were sent out in December. A nice sum was taken in from this. A great many dollars for the two projects above, came from out of town sources. Last January, a bake sale was held. Then the final amount was given in donations by liberal friends of both Alma and surrounding communities. Today we are very proud of our Bell and Howard 16 mm projector bought for $650. During the school year 1946-47-48, Mrs. John FORD has been President of the local P.T.A., with her officers which consisted of Mrs. Wm. HESTER - Vice President, Mrs. Theo. DIETRICH- Treasurer; Mrs. Vernon GRAGG-Secretary, also the many committees of other P.T.A. members have put out a great deal of effort to reach this goal. The pupils and teachers of Alma are grateful and wish to extend their thanks in this great project.”
