A new message, "Textile mill (cotton mill)," was posted by Sam Reece on Thu, 16 Sep 1999, in the Galveston County, Texas, Genealogy Web Page Queries section: Surname: Long, Smith, Ford NAME: Sam Reece EMAIL: sagomyr@flash.net DATE: Sep 16 1999 I am seeking information on the textile mill (cotton mill) that opened in Galveston about 1890 and survived the 1900 storm. My great grandparents, Leonard and Octavia Long and their son, Percy J. Long and her son, John T. Smith worked at the mill during this time. Octavia's nephew, John Virgil Ford may have worked at the mill, also. Does a history of the textile mill exist and/or records of employees? Any assistence will be appreciated..
