Pamphlet proposing the establishment of the Drucilla Whitmire Memorial Museum in Newberry County (South Carolina).

Prior to the migration to Missouri in 1820, Henry Whitmire (1776-1836), Ruth Hill Whitmire (1785-1843), and their daughter Drucilla Whitmire (1816-1904) lived in Newberry County (S.C.).
