This site had a rich history because it was located on a siding of the Pennsylvania Railroad and near the terminal point of the Tuscarora Valley Railroad. At one time George B. M. Wisehaupt established a grain, coal and lumber business at this location.

Later it was owned by Horace Frazer (husband of Laura Wisehaupt), daughter of John and Mary Jane Wisehaupt. Later George Wisehaupt’s son Frank acquired the mill, then John Stake and Charles Goodman (eventually Stake sold to Goodman) and later John Anstine.

Also, part of this property included the H. C. Hower Lumber Company.

There was a house attached to the mill. Part of the house was used as an office for the mill. During the time that Charkes Goodman owned the mill, his sister Leone (Goodman) and her husband Thomas McKee lived in the house.

Believe that the property is currently (2009) owned by H. Wayne Haubert.

As to your post on 210 Milford Street. You state that John Stake owned it then Charles Goodman. It was purchase by both. It was called Goodman & Stake Mill. Then John Stake sold his share out to Charles Goodman. Thats when it became Goodmans Mill. I know this due to I am John E. Stake's Granddaughter.
