Mill on Cedar River

Description:

The mill built by Amos Morton in 1866. Near this spot, early settler Freeman Bray had built a dam in the river and constructed his first mill in about 1843. He sold the property to Ebenezer Walker who built a new mill there in 1849. It burned down in 1863. Charles Burtraw purchased the mill in this photograph from Morton and operated it with his son William from 1879 to 1891. This image is a duplicate. The original source is unknown.
