A Note from Eric Williams
Received on December 1, 2000

I was looking on the Internet and thought I would see if I could find anything pertaining to the Williams burr mill or Williams grist mill, and I did. I found your site. I live in North Wilkesboro, NC about 1/2 mile from the Meadows Mill Co. My great grandfather was Edgar Valintine Williams, better known as Whistling Ed. He is the one who built the mills and eventually sold out to Meadows. My father had or maybe still has 2 of his mills. I think one is on display at Meadows. My name is Eric Williams and if you would want to call me for any reason, my phone number is ....

Sincerely: Eric Williams

I did call Mr. Williams and had a long conversation with him.
It was a great privilege for me to talk to the great grandson of the man
who originally designed and built my mill. Thanks.
