comments: Extracted from Pioneer History (page 195):
Soon after Reed and Nelson started trade at Norway, Asa Myers and Mr. Hoover
arrived from the east and erected a saw mill in 1876 and in 1880 a flouring mill
on the south side of the stream.  They made excellent flour and good lumber, but
the channel of the stream changed in a few years leaving the mill so far from
the river that it was too expensive to get logs from the water to the mill.  Mr.
Hoover died and the enterprise went down.
