Emma R. Smith Portrait

I have found out that the Sullivan Munce Museum in Zionsville Indiana has the portrait that was painted of Emma R. Smith, which was commissioned by her former students; who  paid Indiana artist Randolph LaSalle Coats $600 dollars to paint a life size portrait of Miss Smith.  The portrait was dedicated on 30 Sep 1927 with a large number of Zionsville graduates attending the ceremony.  The portrait hung in the hall of the Zionsville School, until the school building was closed.
