(http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ny/county/columbia/stock/eureka_paper.htm)
"A number of grist-mills have been operated at Stockport. One of the most noted was Joab Center's mill, on the site at present occupied by Rossman's. The former mill was supplied with wheat brought from western New York in canal-boats, and floated up Stockport creek to the falls at Columbiaville, from where it was taken by teams. the present mill is one of the most complete in the county, being supplied throughout with modern machinery. There is also a grist-mill in a part of the old print works, the motor being a small stream from the eastern part of the town and Ghent, which here empties into the Claverack."
