Early Years Dinner-toters at the Riverside and Dan River Cotton Mills Noon-hour at the Riverside Cotton Mills Established by six local men on the banks of the Dan River in 1882, Riverside Cotton Mills expanded rapidly, with four mills built within the company’s first decade of operations. In 1895 a group that included five of the six original founders also set up the Dan River Power and Manufacturing Company so that they could develop the water power of the .

In 1913 the Swartzentruber Amish split from the True Old Order Amish to become more rigid and strict. They believed the Old Order was much too modern. The Swartzentrubers do not recognize the other different Amish churches as being true Christians. This order of Amish are probably the most interesting because of the way they live their lives. They do however, have a not so good reputation as being strict diciplinarians. Some call them the Hillbillies of the Amish because of their relative primitive lifestyle. According to Darren Byler The Geography of Difference”, behind their backs, the Swartzentrubers are called gnuddel vullahs, or wooly lumps, by the Old Order Amish. According to several Amish and Mennonite sources, this is said because, when the Swartzentrubers milk their cows by hand, their long hair and beards gather lumps of manure, dirt and grim from their cows – resulting in matted and lumpy clumps of hair. Because many take baths once per week or less particularly during the winter, due to the time-consuming task of heating water on a stove heated by coal or wood, some Swartzentrubers develop a certain earthy smell and at times their hair care is reminiscent of Rastafarians. In general, the Swartzentrubers are seen by other members of the Amish community as dirty people who think they will find salvation by not taking baths. This is a blatant misconception in the eyes of the Swartzentrubers. There are an estimated 2,800-3,000 Swartzentruber Amish in southern Wayne and Northern Holmes Counties. They have very few modern conveniences in their homes and most still have no running water and almost all still use outhouses. Most of the farms are identifiable because they seem to be run down and in need of paint and not neatly kept like most Amish farms. I expect that a lot of the cause for that is that their workload is so great that they have little free time for that type upkeep. The bathing of a family alone is laborious when the family contains anywhere from 6 to 14 children. This easily explains why they bathe usually only once a week. Old Order and other Amish orders are allowed to ride in automobiles and vans and many pay this form of transportation for trips to shops and stores that are really too far for the buggy. The large 15 passenger vans seen throughout Amish country are known as Yoder Toters. The Swartzentrubers however are not allowed to use automobiles or vans EXCEPT for emergencies, normally only medical emergencies. They are allowed to use commercial buses or trains for visits to family long distances away. Because they must use their buggies for trips that are much farther than normal, most use a two horse hitch which makes those distances and long hills much easier. Most of the detailed information in this album is quoted from David Yoders book Amish Deception, in the chapter on Swartzentruber Amish Ordung....(note: Ordung or Book of Order is the rules of the church district in which they live that they must abide by). From the information I have discovered, it appears that no two church districts have exactly the same Ordung. It is a very secret and sacred, almost always unwritten but understood document.
