Yes, as Si says, there was an Aragon Mill, and it really did have a tall red brick smokestack with Aragon (or maybe Aragon Mill or Mills) spelled out in white letters.

My father was a supervisor there in the late 40's. When I was born in Rome in 1950, we lived just down the road in Rockmart, before moving to Aragon. Years later, in 1963, we moved back to northern Georgia and lived nearby in Cedartown, where he ran another mill. I remember us visiting old friends of my parents in Aragon and seeing the smokestack from their porch.

As you've probably heard, the locals pronounce the name Air uh' gun, not Air a gahn'. At least my parents always did. And yes, a lot of mills where I grew up did close and were eventually burned or torn down, in Cordova, Whitney, Chattahoochee, and elsewhere.

I went later to school in North Carolina and lived in Chapel Hill, which was where I heard the Red Clay Ramblers doing the song at the Cat's Cradle in the late 70's.
