The Eldred (Art) Hug Sawmill

(Click on picture to view larger picture)

	The mill was purchased used in 1941 in Edon, Ohio for a cost of $750 which included the building that it was in. Art tore the building down and reused much of it in the building that I removed the mill from.  Art is currently 93 years old and had run the mill daily untill he was 78. That is when his son-in-law  and grandson took over operations. They sawed weekly to produce lumber for the shipping box business that they owned.  Art's son-in-law and grand son  operated the mill until december of 2008.
