Hello Listers: Every so often I notice requests for information about the name, Dorchester. While looking thru some miscellaneous articles from a scrapbook kept by a Depauville woman, I noticed the name, Dorchester, in an article appearing in the Watertown Daily Times on Friday, April 23, 1932. The article was entitled, "Limerick Grist Mill Is Destroyed By Fire." The old grist mill was located in Limerick, Town of Brownville (NY), and at the time of the article was owned by Brayton Peck. A portion of the article follows: "In 1929 the mill was almost entirely rebuilt and new machinery installed by Mr. Peck. He purchased the mill from Handley Case, of Dexter, and had conducted it for many years. "The structure which burned, was built on the site of an old mill which was operated for many years by Henry C. Dorchester, father of Mrs. N. H. Lee, 252 West Main street, Watertown, and grandfather of Edwin H. Lee, of the same address. Some of the building, estimated to be 150 years old, is still on the site. "Mr. Dorchester was a supervisor from the town of Brownville about 100 years ago and he conducted the original mill, having built the dam and water wheel himself. The old water wheel can still be seen at the location together with the Dorchester and Lee family homestead. "The mill was a congregating place for farmers from Pillar Point and other sections for many years when they came to have their grist ground. Miss Kate Dorchester, who died here about a year ago at the age of 85 was born at the homestead. The original builder of the mill is not known."
