Pioneer Relic Gone and Other Citizens
A farmers water mill burned one week ago with no clear origin. The scene involved a damaged engine, a ruined boiler, and a collapsed furnace area, while salvageable brick walls remain. The fire attracted a large crowd but no insurance, with losses falling on stockholders and creditors. The mill's history traces to Civil War era and local pioneers, including J. E. Stacy and the Farmers’ Milling Co. The piece urges town leaders to consider using dam water for municipal needs and economic savings rather than rebuilding the mill.
