| Historicial Development: | An ad and article in a local newspaper reported in 1848 that George Page was an inventor of machinery for sawmills, cotton gins, and grist mills. This mill may have been a demonstration model rather than a production mill. The George Page & Co was still advertising its wares in 1869.
