description: Sign that says “The Sawmill. In this small sawmill uncle Ed used the power of his water wheel to saw lumber for himself and his neighbors. Logs were rolled, one by one, from the log deck onto the carriage and “dogged” in place with the iron hooks. The headblocks were moved forward the width of one board after each cut, by means of the hand wheels on either side of this panel. The carriage was moved forward to the saw by means of an ingenious gear arrangement which, in turn, was connected to the under side of the carriage and controlled by three levers directly behind the saw. If he desired more speed, he diverted more water over the wheel with the control lever on the wall behind the carriage control levers.” with an image portraying the machine.

One mill ground coarse gains, or “chop” for stock feed, and the other ground corn meal for household use. The customer stood on the mill platform above and poured his grain into a hopper, from which it fed between the rotating stones. The miller controlled the space between the stones with a lever to obtain the proper texture of meal or flour. “Water-ground” corn meal is still considered a special treat to many people.” With detailed picture of machine.
