Later the saw mill w'as converted into a grist mill by Samuel McMurdie. Finally more machinery was added and it served as a grist mill and saw mill and was a great convenience for the settlers. In the early days of the settlement the women gleaned wheat in the fields. They also gathered straw which they braided and made hats for the men and boys. They also split the straw-anmade hats for the women and girls. Most of the families owned a few sheep and the wool was taken to a small carding mill at Wellsville where" the wool was carded. The women and girls spun and wove it into blankets, also linsey and jean3 which were made into clothing. They also spun and made sewing thread from flax and cotton yarn. Sewing thread cost from 25 to 40 cents per spool. The first sewiftg machine in the settlement owned by Mrs. John Monsen was in great demand. It was a hand power machine and did the work milch faster than sewing by hand. Mrs. Philinda Stanley was an expert at making cheese . and those who desired it gave one fourth of the supply of hulk furnished. Mr. Hans E.

The fort was built similar to those in other settlements of . the valley and as previously stated extended on both sides of' the present Main street from the blacksmith shop to the center of the public square. Ilyrum was fortunate in not having many Indian troubles, however, precautions were taken,arid a militia w'as organized w ith George Nielsen as the captain. A public cor- -' ral was built ' where the cattle and horses were guarded in times of danger. The settlers remained in the fort until the spring of 1864 when the town was laid out by j. H. Martineau, surveyor and they moved onto the city lots. Eight lots of one and one quarter acres each constituted a Block, The streets were six rods wide h and extended north and south rind east and west with the center The settlers drew. block being reserved for public building lots for city lots. and their land and each head of a family was given twenty" acres of land to farm and a city lot.
