Local History Feedback: A.O. Young, Jr. on the Young Mill Editor, ColumbiaMagazine.com I do have a picture but my computer is messed up and I am unable to send it at this time. I remember as a little boy going to grind corn at the mill. At one time my dad sawed lumber, generated electricity for the house, ground corn, cleaned seed, and at one time it was a flour mill as well. Much of the written history should be accessable in the courthouse. I believe, but am not sure, that they may have gotten a Corps of Engineers permit to build the dam. Water power alone ran all the equipment at the mill. I would be more than happy to talk with you about it. Alvin Oren Young, Jr. Thanks so much, Mr. Young: There is so much interest in the old mill that we are rushing this information to print. I'll certainly be contacting you, and look forward to seeing the photograph(s) you have and hearing more about the mill. Wanda Young Beard is also looking for a copy of a photograph she remembers as being in her collection. I think my first membory of the mill was when we rode bicycles out to it when we were teenagers on Jamestown Hill. I remember our route as the being to the Aaron Bros. Store in Glens Fork, backtracking to ride east on KY 92, across the then gravel Keene-Wilson Road, stopping at the mill for a few hours, and then heading on across Russell Creek to Ozark. Can't remember if the Ozark Store was still open. But it was an easy ride from there on KY 80. I believe that the expeditions were led by your cousin, Clyde and Anna Cole Young's son, W. Darrell Young. -ED Click here see a photo of the mill site, today. This story was posted on 2007-01-21 06:19:33
