They joined to build a cotton mill on the upper Catawba River in Caldwell County.

With a $500,000 investment, they helped construct the village of Rhodhiss, which included a horseshoe-shaped dam, electric generator, mill, general store, and worker houses.

The Catawba River runs through the center of the town, which is located just east (downstream) of Rhodhiss Dam.

In the 1980s, there was a beach, that was located on Strawberry Hill (the first road on the right, just after crossing the bridge into Burke county).

There was also a Boys Scout club house at the top of that same road; however, it closed in either the late 1970s or early 1980s.
