cooking on the part Of young hus-

their inexperienced wives, is rapidly

any cooking, and therefore few are

MOST ANCIENT WATER MILL
One in Connecticut Destroyed Ate,
Being Operated Two Hundred
and Fifty Years.

What perhaps Is the oldest tenure oi
properfY in the United States came tc
an end recently when Fowler's mills
in Milford, Conn, passed from the pos
session of William Fowler into that oi
George NJ. Gum. a lawyer of that town
The mill site and the perpetual water
franchise of the Wopowage river, or
which IL Is situated. have been owned
by the Fowler family since 1910, q
years after the Pilgrims landed nj
Plymouth. William NJ. Fowler. the lasi
owner, was the eighth William in o
succession OF nine generations. Now
the water power will furnish electric
ity to light the town, says an eastern
exchange.
The old mill was the first grist mil
In the colony of Connecticut, and the
TO it was operated the first sawmill II
the western hemisphere. At its door'
was built the first wagon bridge OF
| this continent.
When Ansantawae, the sachem oi
the Paugasuck Indians, sold 10 th'
settlers of Milford a strip two mile'
| long on The banks OF Wopowage river
William Fowler was one of the buy
ers He was a leader among the mer
of the settlement, to which he and
40 others had come from the settle
ment of New Haven. He was q mem
Der of the general court of the colony
and was one Of the first three civil
judges app -inted by the governor
He was also man of influence with
the Indians, and his skill as a diplomat
pulled the little settlement through
many a tight place. In recognition
of his services the villagers, backed
up by the general court, voted to him
md his heirs the perpetual right to
the use of the water of the Wopowage
river.
The mill was completed in the fall
of 164O, and on the day before Thanks.
giving the sluice was raised and the
water was allowed to turn the stone
for the first grist OF wheat All day
II ran. The first -four taken from the
mill was baked into bread which was
used i'm a communion service.
The next year an apparatus for the
saving OF logs into boards was added
to the mill. There was not sawmill
in the western world nor was there
one in England even, but the Dutch
had used saws driven by water and
wind power for some time, and 10
Holland was sent the order. which was
filed. several months later.
The banks of the WopowaPe river
were steep, and the clumsy wagons
of the farmers could not be driven
easily across the ford. The first
planks which came from the saw
were laid across long beams which
spanned the river, forming the pioneer
wagon bridge of America.
