Burleson College was located just south of Greenville and a bit west of Hwy 34. The buildings were used in later years by the Love-Knit Mfg. Co., and it is my understanding that they used the dormitories to house the workers there--mostly single young women from the surrounding community. There was a Wesley College as well. I am sure that the Greenville Library has more information. Their card catalog may be online.
