Hoard Grist Mill
In 1809, on the baidc of the Mohawk River, north, and not far from Injiham's mill, was built by James H. Rathbone the grist mill now known as the Hoard mill. Tradition informs us that the hewn frame of beech, which was part of the structure, was cut in the immediate vicinity of that building. We learn, also beyond doubt, that prior to 1824 most of the ground now included in the village, south of the Erie canal, was woodland, and if we are to be guided by the probable story of the old beech frame, we may easily surmise that at that period much of the soil upon which now lives a thriving population was then shaded by the primeval forest. In rank of proprietorship of the Hoard grist mill were James H. Rathbone; Timothy I. Campbell, Leonard E. Downie; Daniel Mason, Joel I'ruyne and Augustus King. James and Robert rearson,H. W. Bridenbecker & Co., Samuel and Lafayette Hoard and Lafayette Hoard alone. The mill was ruined by fire in April, 189G. The saw mill is still intact.
