Note:

    Thornton MELLOTT Sr., started a woodworking shop at Pleasant Ridge in the
    late 1920's. He made ladder back chairs with split bottoms. He turned out
    the rungs on a wooden turning lathe. The lathe was 10 feet long and had
    a four foot flywheel which had to be peddled like a sewing machine. In
    later years he put a motor on it. He used white oak and hickory saplings
    to make the splits. The wood for the slats was soaked and then put in
    a jig and let dry where it would get its curved shape. Thornton Sr.,
    also made windows, doors, and some furniture. He had four sons: Melvin,
    Sheridan, Willie, and Thornton Jr., who became carpenters. Melvin and
    Willie specialized in cabinet making and housing. Willie's son, Larry,
    and his grandson, Mike, work as carpenters today."
