FROM EARLY DAYS TO THE PRESENT 23 The Grain Mill. Built in 1865, and in 1866 was bought by M. D. Moore and has for many years been known as the Moore & Galloway mill. It has burned three times and rebuilt. A. K. Hamilton Mill. Northwest of West Division street bridge. Built in 1879 ^7 J* Q. Griffith & Sons and bought by Mr. Hamilton in 1884, after the burning of the Luco mill. He sold it in 1891 to Mr. Curtis, who took it north, Mr. Hamilton retaining the land. The Railroad Mill. Below Scott street and the landing. Was built in 1857, mainly to cut hardwood for the car shops. Was run but a couple of years. C. J. L. Meyer Mill. On the marsh near the Blast Furnace. Built in 1868. The Moore & Galloway Mill. East bank of the river near Scott street. Built in 1866 and is the only sawmill now in Fond du Lac. The Second Littlefield Mill. The second Littlefield mill was overhauled by G. W. Sexmith and run two seasons. He also remodeled the Railroad mill and run it. The Asa Pierce mill at the forks of the river, and the Leavitt mill at Forest street bridge, were given overhaulings two or three times by different parties and did fair work for a time. It is a fact perhaps not peculiar, that all of the Fond du Lac mills were destroyed sooner or later by fire. It seems to have been their fate to burn. The mills of a later period that were rebuilt, were burned. The Meyer mill, the Moore & Galloway mill and the Steen- berg factory, are of this class. The Meyer factory was on fire two or three times but escaped destruction. We can truthfully say that the Fond du Lac mills went up in smoke. A large proportion of the sawmills named here, also cut shingles and lath, but the following were distinct shingle mills: The Shingle Mills. The Littlefield Mill—East bank of river near Scott street. Beaudreau Mill—East side of river near Arndt street. Galloway & Hunter Mill—East side of river below Arndt street. J. W. Lusk Mill—East side of the river near the forks. C. R. Harrison, T. S. Henry, Alex. White and a few others were recognized experts in mill management almost from the beginning in Fond du Lac, and were identified with it almost to the end. When anything goes wrong or changes are to be made, the services of such men are a necessity, and it was fortunate for the Fond du Lac mill men that they had such men to draw upon.
