Situated on the east side of Highway 231/431, 2 miles north of Hazel Green, in the community of Fisk, Alabama, once stood an Alabama Historical Association marker denoting the site of the Cabaniss Cotton Spinning Factory. The marker, sponsored by the Madison County Commission, was dedicated on October 8, 1967. The marker has since vanished, possibly being destroyed by vehicular traffic. References 10, 16, 35, and 87 contain more information on the cotton mi 11.
