THE OLD MILL by Mildred Otis Fountain
The H. Weston Lumber Company "Old Mill" on the banks of Pearl River and Bogue Homa Bayou, Logtown. This mill was approximately in the same location that Henry Carre', Henry Weston, and W. W. Carre' operated their first mill in 1857.
Mill Number One, better known as "Old Mill" completely burned on Monday, October 26, 1914, along with the company's 60 ft. combined passenger and freight boat "THE PELICAN", and a tug boat, THE "PALO PINTO". (VF - From papers in the SCE files compiled for a special edition and loaned to the HCHS)
Mr. Henry Weston was born January 9, 1823 in Bloomfield Maine, now Showhegan. The oldest son in a large family, he attended Bloomfield academy and began working in his father's sawmill when he was ten years old
He ran logs on the Kennebec River, cooked in logging camps, and sawed and piled lumber and had other jobs around the mill until the fall of 1844.
Mr.. Weston went to Wisconsin where he managed a mill on the Eau Claire River. When he was 23 years old in 1846, he left that severe climate to come south. He traveled down the Mississippi River by steamboat to New Orleans, where he was advised to go to Gainesville to see W. J. Poitevent who operated a mill there, at this time, Gainesville was the largest town in Hancock County and was the county seat.
He worked in the Gainesville mill until July 1848 when Judge D. R. Wingate hired Henry Weston to run his mill in Logtown. On July 19, 1856 Henry Carre', W. W. Carre', and Henry Weston bought the mill from D. R. Wingate.
On July 15, 1858 Henry Weston married Misss Lois A. Mead from Jordan River, Mississippi. They had nine children; Addie Eliza, Asa Sidney, Horatio Stephen, Daniel Cony, Carrie, John Henry, David Robert, Abner Coburn, and Lois Angella. Later his six sons assisted in the lumber business.
In 1874 the W. W. Carre' Lumber Company dissolved with Henry Weston, the downer. The H. Weston Lumber Company was chartered in 1888, and was in operation until 1928.
Mr. Henry Weston died in Logtown, October 29, 1912. (From a handwritten document, copy in HCHS VF Weston)
