In the year 1836, Daniel H. Austin, one
of the missionaries at the Harmony Mission, removed to this county with
his family, one of whose members was his son, Josiah, and settled half a
mile east of Balltown. He built the first mill in Vernon county.
It was a water mill and Austin afterwards sold it to Cecil D. Ball, the
founder of Balltown, who came in the year 1837 and reconstructed it, as
noted elsewhere in this chapter. |
