Sales of Glendale Mill Assets
Story furnished by Clarence
Crocker
In August of 2011, I put
together a story of the land and property acquisitions of the
Bivingsville Mfg. Co., The J.L. Bomar Co., The D. E. Converse Co and
Glendale Mills from 1832 through 1946. (See
Mill
Land
Ownership).
Now it is time to tell “the rest of the story”, the disposition of
those assets.
Before merging with Indian
Head Mills, Glendale Mills sold all village houses and a few outlying
areas which I reported in an earlier story. (See
Mill
Houses). Having discontinued operations at the Glendale Mills
plant, Indian Head preceded to sale all Glendale assets which were not
to be moved to other operating locations. I have sought to find the
records of all transactions but it’s obvious that some are missing. A
number of mortgages and mortgage releases are recorded, I am listing
only title transfer deeds. Some twenty odd deeds were issued to or by
the Glendale Fire Department and the Glendale Community Churches.
Numerous deeds were issued for less than one acre of land, in most
instances, these and many other insignificant deeds are not listed in
this record. As you will note, in many instances the real estate has
changed ownership several times. Though I have listed these deeds in
abbreviated form to keep the reading from becoming boresome, I have
tried to give enough information so that interested readers could know
what land or buildings were involved in each sale or exchange. While
some Survey Plats were too large for my printer, I have included all
possible.
