For nearly all of the 116 years the Milliken & Co. plant has operated in Gainesville, a member of the Bone family has been on the payroll. It started with Judge Christopher Bone, who worked at the plant from about 1902 to 1923, his great-grandson, Mike Bone, said last week. Mike Bone is a 31-year employee at the plant.
