Who was Mills Darden?
Mills Darden - one of the heaviest humans ever to live. Had a body weight of 1000+ pounds. He was pretty tall too, like 7 foot 6 inches or something. They have stories of him being very strong..but then again, he was a farmer, and doing a farmer's work with that much weight requires some strength, to say at the least.

Where can you find information about the Mount Hunger Bobbin Mill that was in Lyndon?
I'm not sure if this is any help but may lead to a path for you. I am doing some research on bobbin mills and the jenne bros. machine shop, which was bought from reed supply in 1969. At that time this shop was still doing some work for bobbin equipment. There was a mill in north stratford which ran bobbins until I would guess about 1979. The last foreman's name of the mill was irvin bennet. He and his wife have passed away, but they had a son who worked in the bobbin mill there at Washburn Lumber. He may still be alive and If, I'm not mistaken, his first name was irvin also. irvin and his wife irene lived out on the south wheelock road and spent the work week up in north stratford at the wasburn mill. Also there is a small saw mill just south of lyndonville on route 5 that back in the '60's made bobbin's. So some bobbin history may be obtained there if you were to stop in. If you know of anyone that knew a man by the name of Bruce knott, who has passed away, there may be some leads there as he worked at reedsupply,jennebros back into the days when it was the jackman butler machine shop. And possibly Juliane Butler of St.johnsbury may be able to help as I believe it was his father who was the butler. I don't know if bill Herman, who was a machine shop instructer at the trade school, would have some possibilities. But some older machinist may be able to come up with something as all bobbin mills needed machine shop service. A lot of the 1920 t0 1940 bobbin lathes and splitters were made at this old jackman butler machine shop in st.johnsbury.

Did the textile mill change workers lives?
In 1821, the Boston Associates purchased land and rights to the Pawtucket Canal located north of the city of Boston, Massachusetts. The Associates built several textile mills and enlarged the Canal for water power. The first mills opened in 1823, and for the next 25 years more mills and a network of power canals were built. By 1848, Lowell was the largest industrial center in America! The mills produced 50,000 miles of cotton cloth each year. The Associates needed a large work force for the busy mills. They decided to run their mills using a work force of young women recruited from New England farms. Lowell was known around the world for this innovative solution. Lowell "Mill Girls" were asked to work in the factories for a few years, then return to the farms or marry. Mill girls filled the city of Lowell, living in boardinghouses managed by the corporations. Mill life meant a hard day's work in which girls followed a strict schedule marked by the ringing of bells. Mill girls were expected to follow the company rules for curfew, church attendance and proper behavior. View the Timetable of the Lowell Mills from 1853 and the Factory Rules of 1848 to see if you could keep up with the mill girls! (click your BACK button to return here)
