OAKDALE COTTON MILLS
A new book entitled Oakdale Cotton Mills by Mary A. Browning and Patricia M. Koehler is being published by Arcadia Publishing Co. It will be released for sale on September 21, 2009.
The book is a pictorial history of Oakdale Cotton Mills, in continuous operation in Jamestown, NC, since 1865 (just closing its doors this year). This is as much a history of the mill village and mill employees as of the mill itself, relying heavily on interviews of employees and their families, many of whom had been employed at Oakdale for several generations.The book will be available at local bookstores and online. Complete information on the book may be found at http://www.arcadiapublishing.com.
A special book signing of Oakdale Cotton Mills will be held at Oakdale United Methodist Church, in the Fellowship Hall, on Sunday, Sept. 27, 2-5 pm. The church is located at 532 Oakdale Rd. in Jamestown, NC. The price of the book is $21.99.
The Guilford County Genealogical Society, founded in 1974, is a non-profit organization of over 400 members nationwide, dedicated to genealogy and family history research, education and publication. Through its educational programs and publications, GCGS promotes interest in genealogy and standards of genealogical research. GCGS also promotes the collection and preservation of family records, manuscripts, documents and other genealogy materials. Although the primary focus of GCGS is Guilford County genealogy, many of GCGS's programs are of general interest to anyone interested in genealogy.
