"I came to Clinton Mills because
I needed to have a
steady job," says Ben Williams,
Plant No. 2 Cloth
Shearer Operator.
"It was 1950, and I had just
gotten out of the Army. I
went to work for a Greenwood
textile plant, but they just
couldn't give me enough hours
to make a living. That's why I
moved my family to Clinton."
Williams enjoys gardening
and hunting when away from
his job. "I like the outdoors,
and I'm happiest when I can
hunt squirrels and rabbits."
He lives on 111 Milling
Street, just a "good walking
distance to work," he added.
For his service award, he
chose a Ladies Accutron watch
and a set of cuff links.
