Sawmill
|
John S. Snider |
Lancaster, OH |
From the "Fifth Annual Report of the Indiana State Board of Agriculture", 1857: "Snider's improved saw mill, head and tail block, exhibited by Reed and Drake, of Xenia, Ohio. This head and tail block works easily and precisely, and we believe it invaluable to persons engaged in sawing lumber. We award it a premium of $5." We could not find any corroboration that Reed and Drake were a partnership or that they ever manufactured this sawmill design, and we believe that it was actually manufactured by Snider. |
