Good morning.
It’s a partly cloudy day ahead for Whitewater, with a high temperature of sixty-eight.
The Wisconsin Historical Society recalls that on this day in 1962, in nearby Janesville, that town’s oldest mill closed:
On this date Janesville’s oldest manufacturer, Rock River Woolen Mills, ceased operation after 113 years. The company moved to Texas. Started in 1849 as Monterey Water Power Mill, the mills initially produced fine yarns, flannels and cashmere. [Source: Janesville Gazette]
