In the spring of 1912, my grandfather Millard Bowden went to Chihuahua to work at a sawmill. His wife and 5 month boy went with him by train from Philadelphia, Mississippi to Mexico. While my grandfather was working, my grandmother and baby "hid" behind mattresses in their rooms. They returned to Mississippi in 1912. I'm looking for newspaper accounts and family stories about these MS sawmill workers in Mexico.
