Enjoyed photos submitted by D. Roy Dykes of Young Mill

About: Pictures from the Past: Youngs Mill submitted by D. Roy Dykes

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

It was great to see photos of the old mill. The first time I saw the mill was in 1979. It was in ruins then. The shaft of the turbine was sticking through the collapsed roof.

When Garnett Young, my father-in-law, wrote his book about growing up in Adair County, Beyond the Brier Domain, he was very interested in the old mill. Since digital photography and scanners were a thing of the future and since all he had were some very small, indistinct photos, we opted to use artist's renderings throughout the book.

I would love to contact the person who submitted these photos. I wonder if he knew Garnett.

Wanda and Bobby Beard showed us the mill site again a very few years ago. Alas! there isn't much to see!

s/Cathy Young
