My grandfather Ira W. MAJOR,(1869-1937) has been a brick wall. We know very little about him other than that he worked at the Greenwood Mill for many years, and lost a leg in an accident there sometime after 1900. Does anyone know if the Greenwood Mill would keep personnel records from the early 1900's? Deborah

Can't help you on the Greenwood Mills, but it sure seems like they should. I hadn't thought about that for my own research, but let us all know if you find out anything. If you get a chance to go to Greenwood, try the old Ellis Funeral home Records at the Harley Funeral Home in Greenwood. Harley has their old books, and i found info. about the parents of some of my Greenwood connected families there. Their information is a Gold Mine if someone would just take the time to transcribe them. Have thought about doing it myself, but don't think I have the time. Would be a good project for the 96th dist Gen. society, but I mentioned that and there was a hint that there were not enough folks interested in volunteering to do that large a project. Another possiblity --- hospital care after the accident?
