In the Faulkner Factory area. There were other factories at the time in the area. A water supply was avaliable to supply power to the mills. Family history has Henry Madewell attempting to escape from the mill using a rope when he fell in the water and drowned. Henry's body was recovered on Sunday morning and burried in the Faulkner Cemetery Sunday afternoon. The structures of the mill buildings are not there, I think part of the wollen mills foundation is still there. Faulkners Factory was the place people went to for years to baptise newly repented folks. I am assuming you have the history of the area.
