Mill on Eagleville Road in New York

James was my grandfather's grandfather. I get confused by 3x, 4x so I say it that way. I remember the house that the family built on the Battenkill River in what was considered Salem at the time. Sometimes the address is Cambridge. The address now is: 190 Eagleville Rd, Shushan, New York 12873

The small mill was out back with the looms. My grandfather remembered it in use but it was long abandoned by the time I saw it. After WWI, disabled men were looking for work without much help. The mill found work for them taking advantage of their losses. Dad said that one man missing an arm was fitted with a prosthetic rigged with interchangeable tools so that jobs dangerous to a fully limbed person could be done in a safe way. The prosthetic and the tools were designed and made in house. I'm sorry but I forget if it was my grandfather or his dad who did this. This man was important to the functioning of the mill and my grandfather said it gave him a sense of pride.

Both the outside and inside of the house have changed considerably. The barn closest to the river is where the looms were and the foundation with the mill machinery held the barn and water wheel. That was gone by the 1960s when I saw it. 2601:183:4C80:A460:16A:D2DA:BAA7:3B1B (talk) 16:34, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
