Poole Family Broom Corn Story From Moore Factory Era
The Poole family of Lawrence County kept broom corn for broom making at a defunct Moore Brothers Broom Factory near Pine Grove. In 1941 they produced 26 brooms from a straw load stored in a utility house, with plants grown on terrace rows. Now most stalks are used and Mrs Poole plans to plant again, though she may need to buy a broom after wear.
