I enjoyed reading all the stories about Chicopee. My grandfather and grandmother Milligan lived in the village in the 20' and 30's. They worked in the mill. My grandfather in the weave room. My mom and sister lived briefly in the mill village in the 80's. Both my daughters went to the school - Jones Elementry although we never lived there. In 1987 I went to work at Lumite. It was located down behind the old mill and was part of Chicopee Mill. It was a wonderful place to work. At certain times in the month you could buy things at the company store (located in the mill) at discount prices. There were many benefits to working at Chicopee. In the early 90's they sold off Lumite. It sold 3-4 times and Lumite Inc is currently located in Alto, Ga. No one has mentioned the tunnels that ran underground from the old mill to the mill village. I always found this interesting.
