A "Seniority List" attached to a column on the factory floor. I did a little research on some of the names from this list, I now feel "connected" to this mill more than before due to this:

Evelyn Steele:
Evelyn worked in the 5 b’s (or 5 bobbins area where they ran bobbins of thread on to other bobbins) it was a section for that specific manufacturing process in the mill.
From the seniority list paper on the mill wall, she started worked there on February 27, 1942, and through the WWII years until 1957 when the mill shut down overnight. She was a part of "The Greatest Generation." During the early WWII years the silk thread from the mill went into the sewing of parachutes for the war effort, until raw silk from Japan became unavailable.

As a former paratrooper myself, I am amazed to stand in the same location which produced silk threads for parachutes, that may have been used during D-Day! Wow, just thinking of this gives me a chill ....
