milt property to J B. Irvine and J.
S Morris, who operated same until
1878, when they sold out to Robert
Pentland.
From 1878 until 1887 the proper­
ty was operated by the Pentiand
family, going from father to hia
heirs, and to the son. Edwin C. Pent­
iand. who established the first roller
process. In 1887. Edwin conveyed
the property to Edward Goins, who
operated the mill until 1892. when
he sold to Henry and Mary Cyrus
and Frank Crabtree. who operated
the mill two years, and then con­
veyed the property back to Mr.
Goins.
It war during Mr Goin»'
first ownership, or in 1891. that the
old mill burned down and the pres­
ent building was erect'“d. This wa*
a tremendous loss to Mr. Goin* and
