“My first recollections of Carmi are, that in 1814 or the spring or 1815 that I was at the mill now owned by Mr. (George S.) Staley, but then built and owned by Lowry Hay and Leonard White. It was a small frame building with two runs of stones, grinding only corn. It stood about where the present mill is, but a little further into the river. The dam was a sort of frame structure. Mr. Hay lived in a double cabin, on the bank northeast of the mill. Immediately around the mill there were no houses and none where Carmi now is located.” This was extracted from page 584 of History of White County, Illinois. Published in January 1, 1883.
