Here is the article from April 7, 1977 .
This week s sketch is of a water powered mill located at the mouth of Ganderhook Creek on Rt. 104. This building stood here on the Ohio and Erie canal about five miles south of Jasper until 1907 when it was dismantled.
In 1864, Robert S. Wynn contracted with Albert Flowers and son, Nathaniel, to erect this mill at canal lock 47, known as 28 mile lock because it was 18 miles north of Portsmouth on the canal. The Flowers family were master millwrights and had built mills in West Virginia and one on Brush Creek in Ohio.
This was a sturdy three story frame with large stone that weighed about one ton, which was quarried nearby, in the 12 foot high foundation. This mill was of the type which had the wheel located under the building.
