I am currently tracing my little known family history. If anyone has any knowledge about Mr. and Mrs. Oscar & Estella Jones who were residents of Rochelle, La please contact me @ cjjonesinc@yahoo.com.

Also, does anyone know what the old mill town formerly know as Rochelle is now called? Is it just considered Georgetown or renamed??? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

We are currently seeking names and comments from people who once lived at Rochelle. Thie saw mill town was once located on the MOP railroad near Georgetown, LA., about 40 miles north of Alexandria, LA and 60 miles south of Monroe, LA. The mille closed in 1945 and reopened at Joyce ,La., near Winnfield, LA.

Rochelle Relics

I’m not sure if anyone here will be interested in this or not, but me and a friend of mine are just getting into metal detecting. His father was raised in Rochelle (Mr. Jennings). We are planning an excursion to the Rochelle site to see what type of relics we might be able to find left over from the old mill. Whatever we find (if anyone is interested) we would be glad to post pictures of on this site.
