ROCK HILL PRINTING AND FINISHING TEXTILE MILL ( "The Bleachery").

My maternal grandfather lost his store/gas station during the Depression and came to work here with thousands of others.

My paternal grandfather lost his 500 acre cotton farm and did likewise.

Say what you wish about mills. They kept my family alive, although I can still hear the noise of it as machinery turned, trains arrived and departed, and whistles blew.
