In 1884 the firm of J. M. Fray & Co. was established by John Milton Fray and Aubrey Gaines Fray, sons of Albert Garriot Fray, and grandsons of the John Fray who established the first mill. This enterprise included a large general store, managed by A. Gaines Fray and the mills, under John M. Fray's direction (Walker 1906: 39). I Advance Mills first appeared under that name in a gazetteer of 1888 (Chataigne 1888: 94). It had become a post office by this time, and tradition has it that the name Advance Mills was proposed by John Fray, who claimed that people frequently commented about all the "advances" being made there (Honn interview 2/8/95 and Ballard interview 2/16/95). The post office, housed in the general store, gave new importance to both the Advance Mills community, and the Fray family, who served as postmasters for a number of years. In 1888, listings in Chataigne's gazetteer for Advance Mills included the Fray corn and flour mill, two saw mills, two "carpenters who are also contractors," one general merchant (J. g M. Fray), one millwright, and one tanner. The A. G. Fray mill continued to be listed in l Earlysville under woolen mills and A. G. Fray also appeared listed in that community as a wool dealer. This was likely a holdover from earlier directories, and actually referred to the Fray mill complex at Advance Mills. Other directories in the next decade listed the same businesses and artisans, with the addition of a saddle-and-harnessmaker, a cattle dealer, an agricultural implements dealer, and distiller. Around the turn of the century two frame houses with identical floor plans were built in the village to serve as the Fray general store merchant's house (VDHR #02-2159) and the Fray Mill miller's house (VDHR #02-2165) (Figure 6.2). The foundations of the miller's house are part of an older ice house (Ballard interview 2/16/95). According to Greene County native Cecil Wetsel, Gaines Fray lived in the merchant's house before he built his larger brick house on Route 743 north of the river, now called Sunny Bank (VDHR #02-2163), around 1905. This handsome Colonial Revival-style house (Figure 6.3) is in virtually unaltered condition and is an excellent example of domestic architecture from this period. The size and scale of this house 6-12 Advance Mills I to are a further indication of the social and economic prominence of the Fray family in Advance ter Mills. John M. Fray's oldest son, Albert, served as a clerk in the general store and also lived in the store merchant's house at one time. By 1906, J. M. Fray & Co. was described as "dealers in general merchandise, millers and undertakers." The two mills included one for grinding flour, cornmeal and feeds and another for grinding sumac, used in dying cloth. The flour mill produced 30 barrels a day using "the very latest Wolf Gyrator system" of machinery and the store served customers throughout northern Albemarle and southern Greene Counties (Walker 1906: 39). The store was evidently a very substantial operation; a 1912 advertising broadside proclaimed that ten clerks were on hand at all times to assist customers (CDP: 5/10/1978). The 1907 Massie map of Albemarle County showed the community had a telephone as well as a post office (Map 6.4). Along with nearby Earlysville, it was the most important community in this part of Albemarle County. Although there are no churches located in Advance Mills, the wider community at that time contained two grade schools, one for black and one for white students. Colored School No. 7 was just east of the village on Route 641 while White School No. 21 was north of the village on Route 743. Neither building is known to still exist. As roads improved during the early and mid twentieth century, the need for a structurally sound bridge crossing over the Rivanna River at Advance Mills became more important. The date of the first bridge at Advance Mills is unknown. The Episcopalian Archdeacon Frederick Neve described in his memoirs crossing the Advance Mills bridge during a flood in the first decade of the twentieth century. He described the bridge as a plank bridge with no sides (MACH 26: 54). 6-15 Advance Mills 6.1.9 WORLD WAR I TO WORLD WAR II (1914-1945) By 1932, U. S. Route 29 (contiguous with then-State Route 28) ran from Earlysville through the center of Advance Mills along present Route 743 (Map, Va. Dept. of Highways, June 1, 1932). The present bridge (VDHR #02-0541) is a nineteenth-century structure moved to this location in 1943 after an earlier wooden bridge had been washed out by a flood (Wetsel interview 2/21/95 and Ballard interview 2/16/95). The bridge is a two-span steel structure with one pony truss and one Pratt through truss supported on a concrete substructure (Figure 6.4). These trusses were relocated from an unknown site (Virginia Dept. of Highways, Truss Bridge Survey #49, 1974). This bridge is one of a small number of Pratt trusses still standing in Albemarle County and is an essential element in the historic character of the Advance Mills community. Mrs. Frances Fray Ballard, born in 1927 in Advance Mills and the granddaughter of Robert Briggs Fray, remembered that during her childhood the Fray family mill was producing flour, cornmeal and animal feeds, although saw-milling had ceased by that time. The J. M. Fray & Co. store was one of the largest general stores in Albemarle County in the first half of the twentieth century, and like most general stores, it carried a broad array of goods. Residents from the surrounding area sold their bought sumac, ginseng, and animal hides to the Frays as middlemen. Sumac was often stored near the store for later sale; there was once a sumac house in the field across Route 743 from the store. Clothes were also sold in the general store. An addition was made to the store in the early 1900s and men's suits were added. There was also a millinery department, and the store dealt in caskets and had a horse-drawn hearse. Grist mills, such as the Fray family mill, were once a common sight throughout Albemarle County and were an integral part of the county's agricultural economy. Before World War II, Cecil Wetsel, raised in nearby Greene County, remembered going to Advance Mills on many occasions with his father to deliver grain from his family's wheat farm for grinding. Farmers often stored their wheat here while waiting for it to be ground. According to Wetsel, 6-17 Advance Mills the store paid a penny a pound for sumac (which had co be dry and bagged in burlap), but would for J. M. Fray merchandise) pamy a half cent more if the seller would take store coupons (good c � goods for the store were instead of cash. Burnley's was the closest ra'lr°a�e°ps don (Weil interview 2/25/95). and "fany shipped in by rail and brought by wagon from Burnley 6.1.10 MODERN PERIOD (1945-PRESENT) J. M. Fray & Co. continued both milling and retail operations until fire destroyed the 1948. A diesel engine installed store in 1946 (CDP 2/24/1985). The mill burned on March 15, Mill joined the in the mill to supplement water power ignited the fire (CDP 2/24/85).
