The
three
story
grist
mill
sits
quietly,
waiting
for
the
spring
rains
to
start
the
growth
of
winter
wheat,
and
the
rising
surge
in
the
stream
to
power
the
mill.
Few
passerby
realize
how
different
this
little
mill
is.
The
water
wheel,
driven
by
the
strong
flow
of
the
mill
race,
is
inside
the
mill.
The
unique
design
was
popular
in
the
southern
states
and
Appalachian
Mountains,
but
was
almost
never
seen
here.
Years from now, history buffs will speculate that itinerant craftsmen, unfamiliar with local practices, built the handsome mill in the late 1700's. The unusual design fits the mill's earliest owners. In 1757, William Trimble, Sr., an Irish Quaker, married Phoebe Ashbridge Thomas, widow of Richard Thomas. In the years to come, Trimble's three sons, John, William, Jr., and Joseph each married their Thomas step-sisters, Lydia, Grace and Hannah.
The quiet, contemplative reproduction of the original watercolor by Richard Bollinger represents not only a time in the past, but a piece of history that remains in the preserved Trimble mill.
