Adair Co. Californian Googles self cross-eyed over spoke factory

Frank Dickerson is hunting for more information on the Damron's Creek automobile wheel spoke factory. He's found that one employee was John E. Morgan. Thinks some information may be in County archives. Even though google search has induced temporary strabismus, he's finding www is shrinking the world

Letter inspired by Steve Sanders' comment on spoke factory: "On Damrons Creek Reverent memories modern practices and another picture of key Adair County School District transportation employee Steve Sanders

Hi Ed!

Just read the articles and viewed the pictures of Steve Sanders and his farm, when the bit about the spoke factory caught my attention.

I know nothing about the factory except that it was "there" somewhere, and one of the employees was John E. Morgan. See Adair Co., KY Census for 1910. John was the husband of Sarah Belle Sanders, who was a grandaunt of Steve Sanders.



Steve is one of my second cousins, once removed, and our common ancestor was Thompson H. Sanders II, and Susan Caroline Dickerson.

I have "Googled" myself cross-eyed and have found no record of the spoke factory, but it seems that there must be some public record of it in the County archives?

Spoke to Steve a few minutes ago for the first time and he was able to fill in some missing links to my genealogy database. The world continues to shrink and so do I!

Have a Jolly Season,s/Frank Dickerson
