The principal domestic animals are the horse, cow, sheep, and swine. Mill Creek has some fine teams of draught horses. Sheep are extensively raised. The hills of Mill creek are all underlaid with veins of bituminous coal, but this valuable mineral has as yet remained undeveloped, wood fuel having been cheifly used by the inhabitants from the earliest settlements down to the present time. Iron ore is also found, but not to any great extent.
Limestone exists in abundance, and is extensively quarried, being used as a fertilizer.
These churches are located near each other, in about the center of the township, at a place know as Fisher Post-office, and are the only churches erected within the present limit. They are both white frame structures, and have a seating capacity of each about three hundred. Ever since the first settlements, education has received fair attention, being fostered by the inhabitants as something altogether indispensable. The first schoolhouses, of course, were rude log buildings. At present there are in the township six public schools, conducted by as many teachers, and attended by about two hundred and fifty pupils.
