| Historicial Development: | Helen Woodell quoted from an unidentified newspaper that the Paris and Trantham milling operation located one-half mile past Antioch Church burned on March 10, 1916. Paris's loss was $1,200 while that of Mrs. Trantham was $2,500, for which she had only $1,500 insured. Paris intended to rebuild the sawmill, but the lady did not know if she would rebuild the gin. |
