Tate inherited the company from his father. According to Chilhowie Town records the mill underwent renovations in 1897. According to materials in the collection, the Mill underwent renovation again in 1917. During the 1917 renovation, the company transitioned from coal powered machinery to steam powered machinery.

Additional processing, arrangement, and description of the collection was completed in September 2015.","This collection includes correspondence between Chilhowie Milling Company and business partners over a two year period from 1916 and 1917, though there are limited papers in the year of 1916. Additionally, the collection includes business transaction papers that contain form orders, bills, receipts, and marketing aids.","At the beginning of 1917, between February-March 1917, Chilhowie Milling Company communicated with banks, Nordyke and Marmon (Flour Mill Engineers), Norfolk and Western Railway Company, and Millers National Insurance Company to try and move their company to a new building. In addition, the company communicates with Virginia Portland Cement Company about quotes per barrel of cement. At the beginning of March, cement costs 2.22 per barrel, but by March 17th the price raises 10 cents. By March 20th, cement is 2.42 per barrel in cloth sacks vs. 2.17 in paper sacks.","The primary negotiation between Chilhowie Milling Company, Nordyke and Marmon Engineering Company is concluded by the end of July. From April 1917 to June 1917, Chilhowie worked with Nordyke and Marmon Company to create a blueprint of the new mill building. At that Point Chilhowie Milling Company planned to transition from coal powered machinery to steam powered machinery. There were miscommunications between the companies  with regards to machinery, build, and shipments primarily in the months of May and June. Though the companies still struggle with communication over shipment orders in July.","In late August and early September 1917, local businesses and livestock farmers contacted Chilhowie Milling Company about business transactions. Over the month of September, final machinery and siding were shipped to the company. Chilhowie Milling Company did not reopen until October first when all of the steam machinery was in place.","October, November, and December correspondence include price estimates and business proposals between Chilhowie, business clients, and colleagues.","Companies in the collection with whom Chilhowie Milling Company corresponded includes:\nBank of Glade Springs\nB.

The series consists largely of newspaper clippings and other printed materials. Some of the files, however, contain original materials donated to or purchased by Emond. Among these are the papers of Braselton B. Frost and Early A. Goodson. The photographs in the series, many dating to the late 19th or early 20th century, also consist of originals. The files cover a broad range of subjects. Particularly strong are files devoted to churches and Galax's Old Fiddlers' Convention. A number of files in the series are devoted to a particular individual or family, with a strong emphasis on the Cooley and Cox families.","Some of the file titles in the collection bear two separate date ranges.

After serving in the military during World War II, Emond moved to Washington state, where he married Barbara Mae Hughes in 1951. From 1967 to 1974, Emond served as pastor of Fairlawn Church of Christ (Galax, Virginia). In the latter year, he received a master's degree in religion from Emmanuel School of Religion (Johnson City, Tennessee).

Born August 10, 1869, in Richmond, Virginia, he was the second of four children. He attended the John S. McGuire Academy but, due to financial matters, was unable to attend college. He set about educating himself and worked in a bank for several years, while writing and attempting to get a play produced on Broadway. In 1895, at the age of 26, he moved to New York City to pursue his writing career. Not having much money, he went looking for work and found a job in a fire insurance office as an accountant. He continued to shop his play, The Broken Rosary, around the city and at one point it looked like it was going to make it. He quit his fire insurance job to devote his time to the play.  Unfortunately, it fell through and he went back to work, this time for a bridge building company. Finally, Walter Lawrence, manager of the Madison Square Theater commissioned him to write The Prince Chap, 1904, which was met with rave reviews. A Broken Rosary was rewritten as a book, also in 1904.","His best known works are A Pair of Sixes and The Littlest Rebel. Some of his plays were made into silent films, and then later sound films. Probably his most famous work was The Littlest Rebel, in book form, play form and then in motion pictures, most notably, the Shirley Temple movie of that name. After his death in 1924, his brothers and sister continued to work with theaters, agents, and producers to market his plays and handle requests for movie and publication rights.","By the time of his death, July 28, 1924, he had written more than 40 plays, many short stories and poems, and several books. He is buried in Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond.","Processed by Elizabeth Dickie.","This collection contains his plays, stories, poetry, and photographs, along with contracts negotiated by both the author and his executors. There is also a great deal of financial information regarding earnings from the plays, etc. and investments. And finally, there are letters from his brother Charles and sister Florence, as well as personal information about Florence and her own writing attempts.","Series I, Title Plays, Stories, Novels, Poetry, includes the copies of plays written by Mr. Peple, including corrections, actor's copies, and reviews.","Series II, Contracts-Plays, Movies, Stories \u0026 Books, includes contracts and correspondence concerning the sale and/or production of the various plays, and reviews; contracts and correspondence concerning the motion picture and sound rights to various plays and copyright information.","Series III, Estate, includes letters, income tax forms and information, lists, and royalty information gathered by his brothers and sister as executors.","Series IV, Florence Peple and Charles Peple, includes letters, fiction, poetry, and personal information about his brothers, Charles and Gustav, and sister Florence.","Series V, Photographs and Ephemera, includes photographic materials and items that do not fit any other section.","Eight books authored by Edward Peple are located in the Rare Book Collection.","Copyright restrictions may apply.

Permission to publish, quote, or reproduce must be secured from the repository and the copyright holder.","Edward Henry Peple was a popular playwright, short story and novel writer in the late 19th and early 20th century.

The line was purchased by the South Side Railroad in 1854, which, in turn, merged with the Virginia \u0026 Tennessee Railroad and the Norfolk \u0026 Petersburg Railroad, forming the Atlantic, Mississippi \u0026 Ohio Railroad in 1870. The AM\u0026O fell into bankruptcy and was purchased in 1881, the new owners incorporating under the name Norfolk and Western Railroad, with a line extending from Virginia's coast to Southwest Virginia.

Fries was president of the Washington Mills Company as well as Wachovia Bank, for some time. He used his business and political connections to build a spur to a main branch of the Norfolk and Western Railroad and to construct a dam on the New River to generate power for the mill. The Washington Mills Company owned nearly every building in the town, which flourished in the early twentieth century with a population of over 1,700 in 1910. By 1929, there were four textile mills in Grayson County, and Washington Mills in Fries was the largest, employing as many as 600 people.","Employment at Washington Mills peaked after World War II with over 1,200 workers. For decades, the mill had cutting edge equipment and competed nationally with other textile production facilities. By the 1980s, the company faced overseas competition and the need to modernize the plant. In 1988, company leaders chose to close the plant, which at that time employed only a few hundred workers.\n  \n  Sources:\n\nBond, Avery, and Martha Nichols, comps. and eds.
