Description

This folder contains a handwritten letter from Corrine Fagg to Ned Harrison about her personal experiences during World War II in Greensboro. Specifically, she tells the story of her very emotional reaction to hearing the Cone Mills fog horn sound in the middle of the day on September 2, 1945, assuming the worst because the horn was only supposed to make noise at shift-changing time. The mill management had released the workers early to celebrate upon hearing of Japan's surrender to the Allied forces. She closes the letter by wishing that the big horn had been kept to warn people of emergencies and other important events.
