Roswell Woman










You heard of the Roswell Mill Women?  To make a long story short when in 1864 when Sherman took over the Atlanta area his men discovered a mill in Roswell on the banks of the Chattahoochee River that made things for the Confederacy like CSA uniforms and so on.  Sherman had the women arrested as prisoners of war and sent them north to work in mills there.

Of the women was one of Anna’s relatives Adeline Bagley. Wife of Pvt J. Buice.

Adeline returned to her homeland many years later to find her husband had remarried.

War is Hell.

She is buried in Sherril Baptist Church near Cummings, Georgia.
