Lantz Roller Mills' breached dam
Ruth, Mary & Paul Stoneburner with their step-grandfather,
W. I. Wilkins, who
owned and operated the mlll at this time.
By 1955 the mill had long since been converted
to electric motors
and the water wheel was not used, hence the dam never repaired.
Interestingly, the mill still (2023) retains the raceway right of way
and the mill,
therefore, could theoretically be restored as a operating
water power.
