of many hundreds. of acres of swamp land
in Madison county being redeemed. The
mill was started originally by Mr.. Davis
in order to drain his own farm. For years
it was the only tile mill within reach of
farmers, and it was not an unusual thing for
a farmer to drive twenty or thirty miles for
a load of tile. The business grew from
year to year. In this way all of the south
ern portion of Madison county has been un-
derdrained by tile brought from the Davis
mill. The father. ID. B. Davis, and his sons
have amassed a comfortable fortune.
