PERRY TURNER was born in
Montgomery county, Ohio, in 1825. In the year 1856 he
moved to Preble and settled at Lewisburgh. In 1847 he
married Mary F. Martin, born in Kentucky, in 1828.
Their only child, Oliver M. Turner, is married and living
in Lewisburgh he carried on a distillery, which he run from 1857
to 1871. In 1863 he took the flour-mill of which he has
ever since been the proprietor. This mill occupies the
site on which the first mill that was built in the township
stood. The old mill was built as early as 1809, but who
was the builder is a matter of doubt. Some claim the honor
for Henry Horn, but Zachariah Hole was probably
the one who built there. The first mill was of logs.
In the year 1825 the mill was rebuilt; this building was a frame
one, and the first of the sort in the township. The mill
is forty feet square, and has three run of stone. It is
furnished with every modern improvement, and is capable of
turning out fifty barrels of flour in twenty-four hours.
The mill may be run eighter by water or steam power. |
