Posted on: Orange Co. Tx Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tx/Orange?read=180 Surname: Hixon ------------------------- I am looking for information on my mother's govenment service during WWII in Orange, Orange Co., Texas. I would be interested to know the company that the govenment contracted to build ships. She worked two years during the War as a welder (rivets) and received a serving tray with a seal for each quarter of work as a keep sake. She is now deceased and after finding this tray I am curious about the work she did. I have always heard of many women working as "Rosie the Riveter" during the war. Thank you for any information you might have.
