Verse for Thought

"You Pharisees are in for trouble! You love the front row seats in the meeting places, and you like to be greeted with honor in the market. But you are in for trouble! You are like unmarked graves that people walk on without even knowing it."

({Luke 11:43 & 44 CEV})

A frame 20'X 60' feed mill of 2.5 stories sheathed in diagonal asbestos siding and built in 1937. The mill was built a few hundred feet north of the site of the old Cassel Stone Mill Pa-36-28-03, a 3.5 story stone mill built in 1780 by Abram Hershey. This mill was also the Sellers Mill and lastly the Cassel Stone Mill, closing in 1928 and torn down sometime thereafter.

The old Cassel Stone mill may still have been standing when the Gehman replacement mill was built, a possible reason if was not placed on the exact footprint of the old mill.
