Event
[The following is a quotation from p. 685 of the History of Berkshire County, Massachusetts, published in 1885, by J. B. Beers & Co. in chapter XXXV by H. C. Warner on the Town of Egremont.On Guilder Brook, five eighths of a mile northwest of Seth Newman's on the road from the hollow to Mount Washington [Berkshire Co.], where Ephraim Welch resides, Michael Loomis erected a grist mill of which in 1790 he conveyed one third to Nicholas Race. After a few years this mill was succeeded by a saw mill, which was abandoned twenty-five years ago.]
