1898 -The Mullenix Farmhouse, formerly the Brown House, at 15880 Boyd Road in the Echola community in Tuscaloosa County was built in 1896 by Isaiah Cap and Elizabeth Sissie Brown, pictured on the left. Their children Minnie Brown, Maggie Brown and Willy Brown (grandfather of the current owners) and Isaiah's mother are pictured. The couple later had another child, Vanny. Willy Brown's daughter, Louise, and her husband, Floyd Mullenix, continued the family farm for many years, as their offspring do now.
The Mullenix Family Farm in Echola was designated a Century and Heritage Farm by the Alabama Department of Agriculture in 2010. The designation recognizes those Alabama farms that have been in operation as a family farm over a long period of time and have played a significant role in Alabama history.

Grammer, Grover, 1893-1964
Grover Grammer bought the old Hagler's Mill on Binion Creek in north Tuscaloosa County in the 1940s before electricity was available. The mill had been built by Edward Hagler in 1866.
Grammar ran the mill by water power, grinding corn meal, sawing and planing lumber, welding, crushing feed and more. An accident at the mill claimed his life in 1964 when he was 71 years old.
The old mill burned in 1968, before the site was flooded for the construction of Lake Tuscaloosa.
