Some of the younger boys working in Brazos Valley Cotton Mills at West. One Charlie Lott was thirteen years old according to Family Record. Another Norman Vaughn apparently twelve year old was under legal age according to one of the boys there, Calvin Caughlin who did not appear to be fifteen years old himself. These and two girls that I proved to be under legal age were all working in this small mill. It was an exceptional case, but it is likely that as the children become tired of school later in the year, there will be many more at work.  Location: West, Texas.
