MOOR SAWMILL

Yamhill County - Panther Creek

July 9, 1874: "The Moor sawmill on Panther creek, Yamhill county, owned by Messrs. Sevenson & Wright, was burned last Monday. The fire originated from some slabs which they were burning, when a heavy breeze sprung up, and before it could be extinguished communicated the flame to the mill. All their efforts to save it were unavailing. Everything was burned, except some lumber belonging to the Moor boys. Loss about $1,000." (Forest Grove Independent)
