Abstract:

Elkin native Ms. Willie Guyer operated the Elkin Roller Mill, the only woman in the state to be an mill operator. She began her work as a bookkeeper for the mill until her father purchased the plant and placed her in managerial control. She supplemented her business with sale of fertilizer in spring and coal during fall and winter.
