There was another large tannery situated in the immediate vicinity of the Conners ville buggy factory. It was owned by that staunch, old business pusher, Abe Con well. Besides hi* tannery, he had a large grist milland a saw mill farther up the street* I do not know whether his or Mr* WaiUug'n tannery was first in operation,as both were In full blast farther back than the ut most extent of my memory.
