Thanks for the incredible efforts you have made
to capture the history of Porterdale. I live in Covington and
am very familiar with Porterdale. I had a flea market booth
for a couple of years at the mill. The purpose of my email
is to share with you a bit of personal history regarding my uncle,
Charles E. Taylor. When my daughter graduated from Newton
High in 1991 he visited with us and spent the night. He
wanted to see the mill and I took him there and he really enjoyed
the visit because he had not been back since he was a young man in
his early 20's. He told me that when he graduated from Emory
in the 20's his first teaching job was at the High School in
Porterdale where he taught for one year. He lived at the
Village Inn for that year. He later returned to Atlanta and
taught many years before retiring. He died in 1996.
I would appreciate it if you could post his name
on the teacher's roster.
Best regards,
David Taylor
