Old Mill site and new Bank details progress and people
The excerpt traces the Old Mill site from 1880s timber shortages to replacements and machinery updates. It notes a 1900 revival with cedar framing, rawhide boarding, new roof, a 20 HP steam engine, a cotton gin, gristmill use, and eventual decline by 1934. Family members Rufus Wimberley and kin are identified as mill workers.
