pioneers could bring forth from
the rich, virgin soil crops of
wheat, corn, oats, or other grains
This done, a means of grinding
the grain into flour was an inn

During the first years they may

the crude trails of the time would
have taken several days. Their
Observation-Disclosures can now
go there and back in three hours,
driving at moderate speeds.
Before the coming of the white
men the Indians had pounded
their corn into coarse meal by
means of a primitive mortar and
pestle, a big stone with a bowl
like cavity and a smaller round
stone. In a larger boulder at
Kitzmiller such a mill was found
With their iron tools the settlers
could have improved on this. But
they were used to bread made of
finer flour and would have been
content with nothing less.
Conceivably some pioneer
might have brought the very anci-
ent hand mill called the quern,
but this ground too slowly to
supply more then one family. 1t
was this type of mill much en-
larged and fifty-fold heavier that
the blinded Samson was forced
by his Philistine captors to turn
Judges 17:2D.
The pioneer miller fashioned
his grindstones of native stone
on the spot with chisel and mallet.
Or perhaps, skilled artisans rode
out from Fort Cumberland or
Winchester to do this.
Once the problem of grind
stones was solved, the early mill
er would not be stayed by other
engineering difficulties. Every
settler needed to be a jack-of-all-
trades. At hand was ample power
in the scores of fast-running
brooks and streams.
The earliest of the grist mills
was set up around 1774 near
Blooming Rose, a stream called
Bear Camp Run supplying the
power. Its builder, Jacob Froman,
was a Hollander, his name Angl-
cised from Vrooman. During the
construction it may be imagined
the scattered settlers, keenly in
tereSted in the enterprise, walked
or rode into the settlement from
time to time. On these occasions,
friendly banter would be banded
back and forth, and many Whimsi-
cal suggestions jocularly offered.
Froman would be kidded about
the golden thumb millers were
proverbially supposed to have, and
his affluence to come.
Along with the chaffering there
would be an exchange of news.
1t was at a time when news from
the seaboard a few hundred miles
distant was exciting and porten-
tous. Discomfort had been develop
ing for some years because of
oppressive measures enacted by
the British Parliament, of which
the Stamp Act was only one, and
heightening with successive events.
A ferment of revolutionary ideas
seethed throughout the colonies
and we're gradually rising to the

Soon after the end of the French
and Indian War in 1863 great
tide of pioneers began surging
across the Appalachian noun
tains toward the rich lands of the
Ohio Valley BY 1765 a few famil-
les reached the area now Garrett
County. at the westernmost end
OF Maryland. After travelling many
miles of forest leading pack horses
laden with their equipment and
belongings and driving a few do
nestle animals before them, they
suddenly emerged into a consider
able eXpanse of open country
subsequently, to be known as The
Glades.
In New England and elsewhere

consecutive victory with George
Lauder showing the way for the
winners with % points. Lauder,
Jesse Tomlinson was waiting to
fall into step with them.
At the wars end all returned
unscathed, Tomlinson to build the
second of the grist mills, in 1895
or 1897 at Little Meadows, the
site of Braddock's fourth camp.
Descendants of Ashby and the
Friend brothers are numerous to-
Gay. People named Friend number
"a percent of the county's reg
istered voters. Their women-folk
whose names were changed by
marriage if added in might make
the total close to percent. Wom-
en- descended from these patriots
of 1776 could if they desired form
quite a big chapter of the Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution.
During the first half century of
settlement other grist mills were
built at or near the present-day
locations of Swanton, 1897, Kitz-
miller, 1902, Selbysport, 1905,
Bloomington, 1910, and Meshack
Browning's mill at Sang Run, 1921
William w. Ashby or his des-
pendants built mill near Gortner,
supposedly after 1920. This mill
was unique in that it was driven
by an undershot water wheel.
The early millers installed the
overshot wheel when possible, as
it developed two and a half times
as much power as the other.
Some of the early mills could
grind only five or six bushels Of
grain a day.
For many years those early
millers and others after them per-
formed their useful and essential
service. But methods change; eco
nomic evolution is an ever-con-
tinuing process. Through the CEN
turtles many age-old, once-neces-
sary occupations have been casual
ties of the advance of technology.
A few of the old mills still
stand, always favorite subjects
for artists and photographers,
Some few are operated as hobbies;
one retired Air Force general
renovated an ancient mill and
runs it just for the fun of it,
This is in North Carolina.
Otherwise only the imperishable
mill stones seen here and there
as decorative oddities recall to
mind once very important local
industry.
The miller, his task well done,
is among the yesterdays with his
contemporaries, the harness maker,
the farrier, the man who once
drove herds of cattle afoot to
city markets, and others-many
others.
