    1. Re: [ALCOFFEE] Simmons Sawmill
    2. Hi Sandy and all, I believe there was a Sawmill in New Broxton ca 1920's, My GFather DeWitt Grimes worked there before going to Brundridge to work at the sawmill there. Good luck PS Phyllis, You are doing great things for Coffee Co. listers, do not let someone get under your skin :-) Your Friend and thanks again for all you do for this mailing list, and all you do for Coffee Co. researchers.

My great-uncle, Shep Carpenter (buried at Danley's Crossroad) was killed in a sawmill accident in 1922. His death certificate lists a "Mr Hall" as his employer. Perhaps he was a foreman at Mr Simmons mill? Any thoughts on this sawmill being the same where Shep was employed? Oh, and Phyllis you are doing one fine job. I can't imagine what makes this Lauren person think that you need advice! Keep up the good work.
