The
first enterprise of an industrial nature [in Sugar Grove Township] was a
saw-mill, built in 1808 by Jacob Hannell,
to which millstones were afterward attached and a grist-mill started.
The location of this establishment was alongside of a little run near
Kennard. Hannell was succeeded in the
ownership by Philip Berrier. The business
was a profitable one, as no competitor was within easy access. A fire,
in which two of Hannell’ s sons perished,
destroyed a portion of the structure.
