<p>[QUOTE=&quot;say_it_slowly, post: 1763305, member: 50&quot;]I don&#039;t know but this is a brief bit of what is said to be the history and it looks to me that if the Enloe on the stretcher is the same family as the one from the mill it could be at least until 1965.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.therandolphleader.com/history/article_6ecd4e34-3480-11e0-b2a1-001cc4c03286.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.therandolphleader.com/history/article_6ecd4e34-3480-11e0-b2a1-001cc4c03286.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.therandolphleader.com/history/article_6ecd4e34-3480-11e0-b2a1-001cc4c03286.html</a></p><p>In 1901, Roanoke acquired its greatest economic profit when W.A. Handley Manufacturing Company was built along with Lowell Mill Village. The mill produced yarn, canvas and fabric throughout its history. For more than 70 years, the mill was the economic backbone of the town, along with the Palm Beach Company, which produced men&#039;s sportswear and hired mostly from the female population. Handley Mill was built by local stockholders under the leadership of Z.J. Wright and William Anderson Handley. The first superintendent was Fountain Pitts Randle from Wehadkee Mill in Rock Mills. During the first year of operation, Randle&#039;s health declined, and Harvey Enloe came from Riverview Mill in Chambers County and became superintendent at Handley Mill. Following his death in 1935, his son, Page Enloe, became superintendent. Following his death, his son, Page Enloe Jr. became superintendent until 1965.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
