EAST JULIETTE (GLOVER) The topography of the land in the section of East Juliette is hilly and rolling. In about 1825 when the Creek Indians were pushed across the Ocmulgee River, white settlers moved in where the famous Indian trail �Horse-Path� crossed, some settling on the east side in Jones County and some on the west side in Monroe county. For many years a ferry was used to cross this river, until a toll bridge was built. It is said that Mike DENNIS erected the first gristmill at Juliette. East Juliette, located on the Ocmulgee River in northwestern corner of Jones County was first called Glover�s Mill until about 1925 when the post offices of Juliette on the west side of the river in Monroe county and Glover�s Mill on the west were consolidated. It was when the Southern railroad was built that the little settlement became known as Juliette, and tradition says that the name was in honor of the first white woman to cross the river to make her home on the west side. Another story states that someone suggested that the two settlements, one on the east side and one on the west side be known as Romeo and Juliette. In 1872 Nathaniel GLOVER bought a mill from West SMITH, a native and builder of the mill. GLOVER set up a sawmill and cut lumber to build a store. Later he cut, molded and burned the brick with which to build the factory. In 1898, a log dam was constructed on the river to furnish power with which to run the textile mill and a gin. After Nat GLOVER�s death, his two sons came into possession of the property. These sons were Jack and Dr. WP. GLOVER. Jack was drowned and Dr. W.P. GLOVER became owner and controlled the entire estate. Dr. GLOVER gave up his practice to supervise the mill which was more profitable. He was a shrewd businessman and accumulated a fortune; however he was outwitted by a business deal and lost controlling interest in the businesses. He sold out and the mill fell into other hands. In 1898 a church was organized and a building erected to serve as a meetinghouse and a school house. It was thus used until 1915 or 1916 when it burned. Then a separate school credited to John N. BIRCH of the Juliette Milling Co. was built and playgound equipment installed. J. Neville BIRCH followed in the footsteps of his father, by helping in the making of a new school in 1939. Across from the old school, an interdenominational church was built by the Juliette Milling Co. It is used mostly by the Missionary Baptists and the Primitive Baptists, but at times it has been used by other denominations. Rev. MINTER served the church for 20 years. Elder E.J. MADDOX of Chester served as a Primitive Baptist preacher for 18 years. The population of East Juliette is about 400 (c1957). On the west side of the river in Monroe county, about 250. This has been a rather isolated community, but now has two paved roads leading out and is easily accessible. Virginia
