Other early day millers were Mr. Symns, Mr. Winn, Mr. McKinney, and Mr. Miller. For a period of 15 years the mill lay idle until &bout 1890, when Alwood Brown, father of Ben and John Brown, took it over. He renovated it and put in new machinery. Henry Clevelands father did the big job of shingling the roof at this time. After Mr. Brown left the mill was run by Mr. Everett, Mr. Hancock and finally by Jim Brown. It was last run in about 1905. At one time Mr. Everett ran a wholesale bakery in the basement of the mill and drove a bakery wagon all over Davis County. He also ran an ice cream parlor and it seems that on warm summer evenings the young couples of the town would stroll up there for refreshments and a little spooning. The whole place was romantic, in fact, and the young people liked to wander around it and throw pebbles in the mill pond and then hike around the foothills. Several years ago, the lumber was removed and the building has fallen more and more into decay. Recently the walls have been blown in by east winds, and it has become dangerous, so it is now being completely torn down. A good deal of credit for this story goes to Mr. Ben Brown, who really did a good job for us, and Beginning next issue, children of our servicemen are going to pay a visit to their dads via The we wish to thank him.
