Abstract:
In the mid-1900’s, mill villages became popular as a means to house and provide resources for families working at the textile mills. One mill village child, Judith Sams, recalls how the village she lived in, White Oak, became a self-sustaining town. White Oak ran on the mill schedule and created convenience stores and churches for everyone to attend.
