But there was another one liigher up on a little stream called Bluckhead that flows into Enoree river Aiat had some claim of being one of the first corn mills of Laurens coun Ly. in those days more than one hun :ired years ago a man named Poole, I think it was William Poole, settled on this little stream. lie had marrIed a Miss Petty, I sil)pose for I find at battrons in old papers Written more than a huInired years ago that his sons were inmed William Petty Poole, Seth Petty Poole, George Petty Poole, and so on down. It was the fashion' of that time to give a boy his mother's maiden iamle for a ( second name. So we m31ight conclude that the mother of the famous Alary Alusgrove was a Miss llecks, for Mary's brother -iwas niam3ed l'1ward lteaks Alusgrove. M1r.

No dou'bt It took some little hustling to get u1) enough to feed tile little army of Poole. The corn and wheat in many instances in those (lays had to be crushed in a little mortar witli a pestle. About a quart at a time was about what Could be beat up in the imortar. So that the Poole family soon could keep one illortar busy ea'r1ly all tile tim e. lr. Poole conclled to make a larger mortar. lie cut down a large tree and sawed off a block ad1(l setting this block oin end 1he built a little fire on the upper end to burn it out inl the shape or a very large moiar -that would hold( probab6ly a halr bushel. lie then wed off a bloek from a smaller tree and put a long handle in it to answer as a pes tle or big hammer to beat up the grain in the large mortar. A water wheel on the same shaft aid lrgo wooden pinl in this iast nlamlled wheel were ar raigei to strike the ed( of the large liamner handle. An d tils would raise t hammer (and let it fall inl lhe big Ilortar' to cru5sh3 the wheat, or corn that was placed in it.
