You could contact the Palmyra Historical Society. I know they did this is the past.

would like to know if anyone could refer them to someone
who makes ornaments. To transfer pictures of a historical
window they have to the ornaments so they can sell them.
Does anyone know a company or a person. Kathleen Hart

The Jacksonport Historical Society is looking for a picture of the steam ship
vessel Addie Wade. Joseph A. LeMere from Jacksonport, Door County, Wisconsin
purchased the ship in 1885 (some resources say it was built in 1902).
Mr. LeMere used the Addie Wade for transporting lumber to the ports of Mackinaw
City, Green Bay, and Chicago, and would bring provisions for his store on return
trips. Joseph LeMere continued lumber freighting with the Addie Wade until his
death in 1914. After his death his children sold the Addie Wade. It was
purchased in 1915 by John I. Kinsey and Walt B. Davidson of Milwaukee and it was
converted into a welding steamer and renamed Kin-Dave in 1915. In 1932, she was
abandoned in the rive at Sheboygan and lies buried there.
We would appreciate a picture of the Addie Wade for our records.
Thank you,
