No information about this specific stone could be found. After 40 plus years of operation they probably went through quite a few millstones.
A short history of the site:
Built CA. 1898, this steam-powered mill employed a milling process pioneered earlier by inventor Oliver Evans which virtually eliminated manual labor. First known as the McCormick Enterprise Ginnery, the mill became Dorn-Finley Co. in 1917, its purpose "to operate and carry on an oil mill, cotton gin, and grist mill." Dorn's Mill closed in the 1940's. Contains original steam engines and equipment (based on designs by Joseph Dart 1943) which were powered by sawdust and wood chips from Dorn Lumber Yard. 864-852-2835 McCormick County Chamber of Commerce.
