Just below the Klinkbart Homestead was a steam powered Mill operated by Peter Fritcher in 1874. Situated in a hollow and on Brimstone Creek, it was both a grist and sawmill on the first and second floor, respectively. Logs were rolled over the embankment from Main Street and lumber was stored in shed by the creek. In 1909 the mill was owned by Lillian Fritcher. Peter's sister and no longer use. By 1926, it is longer on the maps. The above drawing, by Harry Mitchell shows his rendition of the mill with Klinkhart Homestead above it.
