Stuarts Draft Mill is in the background on left - At this time was owned by W.W. (Bill) Grove.

Mr. Charles H. Cohron, a staunch Baptist from Mississippi built the mill. Brother Cohron came to Stuarts Draft as a traveling salesman selling feed, seed and fruit trees. He first built a General Store. Later he built a warehouse (building beside railroad  on 608)  from which he bought and shipped hay. The warehouse burned several times. Brother Cohron then built the Stuarts Draft Mill. The mill also burned later on but was rebuilt.
