HISTORY:
--------
Palmyra was settled around 22-apr-1815.  This was the first Edwards
County seat, when the County was one third the size of Illinois and 
a part of Michigan & Wisconsin.  For some unknown reason, people died
here by the hundreds.  Unfortunately, there are no grave markers that
lasted.  Many Indian graves were also located here and the area
contains some twenty Indian Mounds.

A Historical Marker is located along route #1, which gives much of
this information.  The marker was originally located one mile south 
of the present site.
