HISTORY OF!
JACK BROWN GRIST MILL!
" Israel F. Enos built another tannery many years ago, which went into
the hands of Norman Tupper, who was father in law of Enos, and it was
changed to a grist-mill. Enos ran the grist-mill until it was sold to Lewis
Russell; it then passed to Spencer and Clough, then to Spencer alone, and
front him to Levi Needham; he did not succeed in paying for it and it
reverted to Spencer, and from him to W. L. Belknap, who built the present
mill in 1879; it is now operated by Wallace W. Chapman under a lease. It
is known as the Eureka mill.!
" After Chapman, the mill was operated by Perry Campbell until about
1940. When the need for locally grown meal declined Campbell converted
the mill to the manufacture of apple crates. In 1945 it was purchased by
Brown Novelty Corp. and was used to manufacture wooden paint brush
