The Millville Grist Mill - The Mill The Town Was Named For


 "The gristmill which gave rise to the town of Millville as operated after the death of John Eves by his son Thomas.  The latter built the first dwelling house in the town. David Masters bought the mill late in 1830, and rebuilt the mill.  His son George ran it until 1849, when fire destroyed it.  Masters and John Betz rebuilt the mill on a larger scale, and made a success of its operation for a number of years.  Later owners were Masters and Heacock, in 1872, McHenry & Heacock from 1874-1883 and today [1921] is partly operated by Reece and Greenley and the other part by Welliver and Diehl."  - Bloomsburg Press, 1921

 Recently  I was given access to a collection of old band photos.  Rather than stick them in a folder for later, I'm going to put them all online quickly, and then I can come back and fill in the histories at a later date.
