"The first Loom Factory ever erected for the manufacture of power looms in this country went into operation in Worcester on the same premisis with our first Wire Mill 1834. The Power Loom Industry of Worcester is now represented by three establishments with an annual product of $2,500,000 & the employment of 800 hands. Worcester Looms are known throughout the world.
It is one of the oldest industries. In 1804 the Stowell Brothers had in operation six looms of their own invention & manufacture for weaving carpets & plaids.
The elder Crompton, after he began the manufacture of Fancy Looms in Worcester, not only sold the machines but as an expert weaver went about giving instruction in their use."

Obituary of James Dodd -- The Marcellus Observer,Wed. March 31, 1926
"The family then moved (a few years later ?) to Marcelluss N.Y.
James rose rapidly from running a loom to becoming a loom fixer. He had special teachers. The well known Sykes Bros. Woolen Manufactures & George Crompton, the Loom Manufacture of Worcester, they being his most intimate friends. Mr. Dodd no doubt inherited the love of weaving from his father who was an old Handweaver in the city of Dublin before going to England."
