    1. Sawmills and Lumber Yards in Meginness Book?
    2. I'm wondering if someone would be so kind to look up any listing for sawmills and lumberyards in the area. My gggrandfather, Charles W. Brown, was a sawyer in Shamokin Dam according to the 1880 census for Snyder Co. One of my ancestors, who I suspect is his brother or uncle, got the patent for the first floating sawmill in 1873. The plate on the model says I. Brown, 1873. I am curious to find out if the Brown, Clarke and Howe Mill at Williamsport is in anyway connected with my family. At least two of Charles' children lived in Williamsport/South Williamsport. Thanks for any help! Tammie Mauck mach1660@aol.com
