He said that he had been told that a Templeton relative was a General Manager for Templeton Carpet. My Great Aunt Elizabeth Mitchell & her Husband Robert A.M. Hillcoat had a son, Anthony Hillcoat, born in 1900 could have very well worked at Templeton's. I'm still waiting to hear from my Cousin in Holland, as she is the one that is more into the family history. Bruce Mitchell
