I'm trying to learn the different "villages" and the cemeteries in this same area and the churches. I've seen mentioned East Thomaston Methodist Church, East Thomaston Baptist Church. Did both of these grow up around the mill families? Maybe someone can tell me the dates of when these Mills were active. Which one of these mills is the one being torn down right now? 1) the Old Mill Village was considered the village facing the mill which included Avenues D thru L. Cemetery: The cemetery on the Old Mill Village is located on Avenue D This is the one Diane Caldwell has written about, and which needs work. 2) Bleachery Village which included the houses around the Bleachery or finishing division of the mill. 3) Peerless Mill village which was the houses around that mill. There is a cemetery near this -- What is its name? All three were owned by the Hightower family Apparently they named the cemetery near the Peerless Mill wrong. East Thomaston Cemetery is on Barnesville Road near Thomaston Mill. Can anyone give me the Avenues it is between? and What Village was it the closest to? I want to be sure I'm attaching the right name to the right cemetery...and have gotten two conflicting descriptions of cemeteries -- not sure which one is East Thomaston. 1)It is kept locked at all time or from what I can tell because every time I have gone there it was locked. Is this East Thomaston? 2)it is not fenced in. Anyone can walk into it. Is this Old Mill? I sorted through some of our obits posted and came up with several additional names for East Thomaston Cemetery. Many buried there seem to be young children, so probably children of people who worked in the Mills and lived near by. Unfortunately the obits don't have years....
