Loeb Raven, 9th District.-The grist mill
known as Mitchelrs Mill situated on the old
Manor road, near Loeb Raven, was entirely
destroyed by fire on the morning of December
18th. just how the fire originated seems to be
unknown, but it is supposed to have caught
from the chimney in some way. The proprie-
tor, Mr. Joseph T. Fulker, who rented the mill
from the estate of the late Stephen D. Mitchell,
made the fire in the Office early in the morn
ing and then went to his house to breakfast.
the mill in which the office was located was in
a blaze He entered the office to secure his
books and papers. There was no fire in the
room, but the part of the mill above the Office
was ablaze, hence the conclusion that the fire
started from the chimney in some way.
The mill was very old building, nothing
about its age being known by the Oldest citi-
zens of the neighborhood It must have been
far above a hundred years old. 1t originally
belonged to the late Governor Ridgely and it
was at one time part of the Hampton estate
and was used as fulling mill, the cloth manu-
featured being made from the wool grown on
the Hampton estate for the use of the slaves,
etc. The late Shelton Price, who one time OPP
Grated the old Rider fulling mill, near Sher-
wood, and later owned and conducted the
Smile House on the York road, and who died
about twenty years ago at an advanced age,
told me he learned his trade as weaver in the
Mitchell Mill and it was an old mill then
how old he did not know.
The mill had of late years been mecca for
amateur photographers and in the warm sea-
SONS was often photographed several times a
week. The property was purchased by the
Mitchell brothers in 1880 and had ever since
been conducted as a grist mill. 1t was few
years ago entirely refitted with roller process
machinery.
The old mill will be much missed by resi-
dents of the community, as it was great con-
venience.
Mr.. Joseph T. Fulker lost all his stock of
grain, -four and feed, but nearly all his custom
ers' grinding which was on the lower floor,
was saved. He was insured for 5000 in the
Hartford County Company. The Mitchell in
surance was 81 900 on the building and 81 900
on the machinery. The actual loss was about
$500. P.
