Does anyone know if the following book is available from anyone? delilah evans Just before lunch, Crawford asked for veterans to come forward. They honored 97-year-old J.C. Mayfield of Opelika with a round of applause for his military service which started when he joined in 1935 as a farrier. Mayfield left the service and was called back up in 1942, serving in the Pacific Theater in World War II. Also in her 90s, Lexie Nolen Carroll from North Carolina said she left high school to work in the spinning department at the mill on a split shift she shared with her best friend, Dot Davis Lord. She said with the four-hour split, one would work 6 a.m. to 10 a.m., and the other from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Many of the stories are now in a book, which many saw for the first time Saturday. Jane Sanders Worthington’s book “A Village Not Forgotten” is a 143-page collection of stories about growing up in the mill village. Her book includes a timeline which shows that the first yard of cloth was woven at the Opelika mill on Feb. 25, 1926. “Interest in someone doing a book came to light more when we found out they were going to tear down the mill,” said Worthington, who lives in Opelika. She said there were not a lot of surprises in the stories submitted for the book. “We all shared the same life, one way or the other,” Worthington said. “We lived side-by-side and shared some unforgettable experiences in our growing up years.”
