Bean's Mill

In 1832, Kotch,ar Yoholo owned the site.
Moses Wheat and son, Francis, owned saw
and grist mills on this site in the late
1830s. Francis died in 1838 from an
accident at the mills. In 1852 the property
was owned by John "Jack" Floyd and son,
James C. In 1858 John sold his share to
James, who took Hiram Murphy as a partner.
The Grist Mill washed out in 1874 and was
replaced with a structure on stone
foundations above normal high water.
The mill remained in the Floyd Family until
1899. It is the only one left of several
mills once located on Halawakee Creek.
