Autumn Hughes reports: A curious youngster and his attentive mother have helped save a piece of early Cleveland history.
Tonya Brantley, a downtown resident, and her son, T.J. Tate, spotted a “round rock” during the excavation of Taylor Spring. It was a mill stone that the work crew tossed into the back of a truck and hauled away for disposal, before Brantley and her son helped put events in motion to save it.
Brantley recently shared her story with the Bradley County Commission, which was among those authorizing funding to preserve the site.
Brantley said Taylor Spring Park has been under construction since 2015; early in June 2016, the digging began and she and her son saw a mill stone brought up from the site.
Brantley then reached out to local historian Debbie Moore and businessman Allan Jones, who owned the Taylor Spring property.
In quick order, the mill stone was rescued from the trash pile and returned to the spring site. It was later removed to the home of former Cleveland Councilman Richard Banks, who is chairman of the Taylor Spring Committee, for safekeeping.
Brantley was recognized for helping save the mill stone at a groundbreaking ceremony in October 2019. She said she understands a plaque honoring her contribution to preserving Cleveland’s history is planned for Taylor Spring Park. “Tonya Brantley’s Rescued Millstone” is dedicated in memory of Brantley’s father, Thomas Wayne Brantley, who passed away on Sept. 5.
