James started working at the cotton mill in 1956. It was owned by the Greenburg’s out of Chicago. When we married in 1959 he was making 95 cents an hour. Burlington Ind. bought the mill around 1960. When the carpet mill was built he moved over there. All in all he worked at he cotton mill/rug mill almost 43 years.
Going way back to when it was the cotton mill and they made Duck cloth, my grandfather, Terrel Spencer, was a co-owner with Frank Swirls of Chicago, and one other man from Chicago whose name I can’t recall ATM. When they sold the mill to Burlington, so I was told, Burlington wanted to move it out of state. My grandfather refused to agree to the sale unless they signed an agreement to keep the mill located in Monticello. He knew it was a vital source of jobs for the area, and would. It agree to the sale unless he knew it would remain located here.
My father Murray “Skinny “Lowrey.worked at both the Ice Plant and the Cotton Mill.
I can remember hearing the whistle every day from my house.
I’m just glad no one was hurt
Sincerely
A. Lowrey
Aka the old ice man daughters
