Uhrich Mill Legacy in Tuscarawas County History
L B Haskins recounts the Uhrich family’s early 1800s land purchases and the rise of their mills. Michael Uhrich Sr built log homes and the first flouring saw mill in 1807 on 1500 acres near the old Trenton road. The 1842 mill rebuilt to 50 by 75 feet four stories, became a regional flour and lumber hub, fueled by hog speculation losses and a devastating warehouse fire. The family’s mills operated until sheriff sale in 1863, later passing through multiple owners amid repairs and reorganizations.
