The Old Mill

there are few of the older residents who have preserved from their fore fathers more or less of history pertain ing to the early settlement of this locality. Perhaps there iu no incident of this history more deserving of men, tion than that of the old mill. We find an interesting account of this in a selection by Werner Co.,. under the caption. "G ing to Mill TIT" from which we quote few lines:
 During the Revolutionary War Duchess Co.,, then the largest wheat growing section of the country, was mostly within patriot lines yet greatly exposed to ranges of the enemy. Maurauding bands, far more merciless than the regular troops, succeeded in destroying nearly every mill within 40 miles of tho Hudson. One small mill in Ellsworth, Conn.,, was so securely hid den among the rocks and trees that it ground merrily away during the whole war. To this little mill so fortunately concealed many farmers from the upper valley of Duchess Co., brought their grain, starting on their long and difficult journey at midnight in order to escape observation, and also that they might reach the mill if possible the next day, for the roads of those days were new and rough. It is related that from the surrounding hills, horses with bags of 1o1 l@o ,lr 1ox forest paths to this old time benefactor, to be converted into four or meal for use in pioneer homes; and in the winter, when the snow was deep, handsleds
 sere utilized in securing these urgent necessities of life. No fire was ever kept in the building, and when the miller was chilled he thrust his hands into the meal just ground and got warmth from his primitive plant. Patrons waiting for their small grist would go to some friendly house, and before an open fire, (and perhaps with 8 mug of cider) were made comfortable and happy" @ =t.
 Much has been said and written about the.old mill, but just where it was is not as well known. It is the purpose of this brief sketch to point out the spot on which it stood About two miles from Cornwall Bridge, on the main road to Sharon village, near the Emmons homestead, and East street road, in the ravine where the brook is still hurrying along it's noisy way, there are to be seen the foundation stones of some building, and of race dam, and this without doubt is the very place where the grind ing was done during the trying times of the Revolution. The Old Mill which did such good service then, is now a thing of the past. The heavy growth of pine and hemlock and oak which helped to conceal it have long since been cut away, but younger growth has done much to preserve the charm of this beautiful woodland road. Should the traveller passing over this route pause to ask t'What mean these stones?" he might easily imagine the stream as if conscious of the good work it had done making answer ''lt was here I saved them from starying-I did it, I did it
 all the good people who came to me from so many miles away-I ground it
 all the wheat and the rye, the buckwheat and the Indian corn. No one else could
 so did it, did it.
