• Notes

  After Moses' death in 1852, his daughter, Indiana Territory Parker and her husband, Daniel Spencer, remained here and raised a family. The earliest documentation establishing the operation as Spencer's Mill appear just before the Civil War in 1856. The mill was operated by Daniel and Indiana's son, Samuel Spencer, as a water turbine driven corn and flour mill. In order to grind corn and wheat for local farmers in this area, French burr stones were bought and shipped for $14.14 from overseas and used as ballasts for weight during the crossing of the Atlantic.
