These mills are located at the village of Loyal, and are owned and operated by A. A. Graves. Up to 1877, Mr. Graves was the junior member of Graves & Son, who did a mercantile and milling business at Loyal. In 1882 the mills were destroyed by fire, but were immediately rebuilt. In 1887 A. A. Graves succeeded the firm of Graves & Son, since which time he has carried on the business alone. The saw mill is quite a large one, and employs several men. The flouring mills have a capacity of one hundred barrels per day. It is one of the best and most complete mills of its size in the state. It has recently been repaired, and new roller process put in this year by E. P. Allis & Co., of Milwaukee.

The old sawmill has been torn down the past week, so nothing remains of the once prosperous mill except the sawdust pile.
