Historicial Development: | Arnold and Brother operated a 20-horsepower steam saw and grist mill, valued at $5,000, in Montgomery County for nine months during the census year ending June 1, 1870, producing 800,000 feet of lumber (valued at $12,000). By 1884 the mill was apparently still in operation; for Arnold and Brother appeared in an 1884 lumber directory as having a sawmill at Montgomery, Montgomery County. |
