In the late 1800s my great-great-grandfather, Andrew Jackson Green, moved he and his family to Lindale, Georgia. Andrew Jackson Green moved from Ellijay, Georgia to Lindale, Georgia, because there was a new textile mill in town. This new textile mill was looking for employees and Andrew Jackson Green went there looking for a job. When my great-great-grandfather moved to the new mill town he found a job immediately. Since that time, that textile mill has employed four generations of my family. The lives of the four generations of my family entirely revolved around the town in which they lived. The Mill in Lindale, Georgia offered my family great health resources, spiritual avenues, and practical amenities.
Doctors were one of the great health resources that the Lindale Mill offered my family. One of the doctors that served the Lindale area was Dr. J.N. Cheney. Dr. Cheney started practice in 1916 in the clinic that was built at the mill. Dr. Cheney made house calls to the homes of mill employees with a horse and buggy that was driven by Peg-leg Joe (Gammon 30).
After Dr. Cheney finished serving as the mill doctor in 1917 he was soon replaced. Dr. S.R. Methvin practiced medicine from 1923 to 1945 (Gammon 30). Cheney truly cared for the people of the Lindale Mill. Dr. Methvin returned to his farm in Sylvester, Georgia, and five years after his retirement he passed away in 1950 (Gammon 30).
The doctors that served the Lindale community operated in the Mill Clinic. The Mill Clinic was a small room that was outfitted with a scale, operating chair, blood pressure monitor and other health related tools (Plate 108). This clinic was a place where the people could come and seek medical help when they needed it. The nurses wore long dre...

During the middle to late 1800's, thousands upon thousands of Americans, as well as foreigners, flocked to the mid-western part of the United States. They flocked to this area hoping to gain free or cheap land promised to them by the United States Government. Most of the "pioneers" left cities and factory jobs to venture out into the American prairies and become farmers. They left their homes, not only because the land was either free or cheap, but also because they wanted to leave the hardships of city life. However, as most would find out, prairie life had its' share of hardships, that far out-reached the hardships of city life. Among these hardships were the death of siblings and friends due to starvation and/or hard work. Pioneers also had to face the stresses and burdens of trying to make a living off of the land. Along with these stress's, they had to worry about how to make money off of the land. All of these hardships, as well as others,

In the Child Labor in the Carolinas, photos and depictions of children working in mills show how working class children did not have the opportunities to branch out and have a childhood as defined by today’s standards. Though the pamphlet creators may have been fighting for better standards for child labor in textile mills of the Carolinas, they simultaneously show how working class families depended on multiple members to support the family: in “Chester, South Carolina, an overseer told me frankly that manufacturers [in] all the South evaded the child labor law by letting youngsters who are under age help older brothers and sisters” (McElway, 11). Children were used because they were inexpensive labor and were taken advantage of in many ways because they were so...
