Remembering the Old Super Mill on Skunk River
The article recalls Story County’s early industry at the Soper Mill site on the Skunk River eight miles north of town. It traces Soper and later owners, the shift from saw mill to grist mill, high production with buckwheat flour, and long-distance milling by Yelton and Noble. It describes the mill’s decline, scenic ruins, and its role as a local gathering place before removal, leaving only the hillside frame as a historical marker.
