Helman and Eber Emery took up government donation claims. They built a log cabin and then a saw mill. When'enough lumber was cut they built .a flouring mill which tbey named Ashland Mills, for their home town in Ohio. In 1853 the Hill fanrHy cume and settled on a homestead at Kings-j bury Springs, bringing the first wo men to this spot, Mrs. Hill, and her three daughters. The next year the Ashland Mills made a mail distributing center. A tew years later, a truly government postofflce named Ashland was open ed In the kitchen pantry of one of the Hill girls, whose husband, A. V. Oillette, was appointed postmaster and given the dish cupboard to use for his mail, which came around the horn in sailing vessels by way of San Francisco and was si; months get ing here. The first public building, a woolen mill, was built In 1864 on money raised by private subscription. This move started a' public spirit and pride of town that has held and which manifested during the recent war per iod when all Ashland's quota funds were raised by volunteer contribu tions.
