It is possible that women worked at the mill during WWII. My dad talked about one woman that stayed on named Gertie. In my mind's eye she tied her hair up like "Rosie the Rivoter" but the truth is that I'm not certain if I ever saw her. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
