In 1874, Mr. J. H. Hussong erected the present [grist-] mill, which he operated until October, 1877, when he sold it to Daniel Kibler, who is now running it.

...Mr. Hussong, since his retirement from the grist-mill, has erected a steam saw-mill, which he has just completed and got in running order. It promises good results, as timber is yet plenty in this region.
