VIEWS SHOW RUINS OF OLD GIST MILL NEAR SHORT CREEK
Mrs. Elizabeth Candler Exhibits Photographs Taken Over Forty Years Ago in Historic Valley. Historical pictures of the country south of Richmond in the Short Creek valley below the Straight Line pike, were shown today by Mrs. Elizabeth Candler whose father -was owner of the first mill on the stream. One of the pictures which occupies a place in the album Mrs. Candler has made up, is fifty-six years old and is in an excellent state of preservation. None of the pictures are lesst than forty years old. Another album contains pictures showing: traces of the old home. The last relic still standing is a gate which was fastened to a young oak tree sixty years ago with iron hinges. The gate has not been used for years and is covered with a growth of moss. The iron hinges are now invisible, the oak tree having grown around them. The size of Short Creek has decreased considerably, the pictures show. Old springs on the hillside have now died out. The well which still contains water, is covered with a few slabs of stone, .the only remaining parts of the old mill. The use of the old mill was discontinued, Mrs. Candler said, when the Elkhorn mills on the Boston pike were opened. The Elkhorn mills shut off the water supply so that the Candler Mill could be used only when the Elkhorn mill was in operation.
