Regarding Enochs Grist Mill. According to the site's National Register of Historic Places nomination:

The mill building, water impoundment, and mill race were all constructed by Wilbert Enochs between 1933 and 1934 … The main works of the machine however, is reported to have been manufactured in Pennsylvania. According to written testimony in the possession of the current owner Joyce Bullington, the milling machine was given to Wilbert Enochs by his brother-in-law circa 1960. Enochs installed the machine at that time, replacing the initial milling machine that dated to 1934. The older machine is no longer on the farm.
