About the year 1824 a saw mill was built on the site of the Munnsville Plow Company's works by Jairus Rankin and Robert Barr.
Matthew Rankin came in from the East and settled on the south part of the Jonathan Snow lot, where Elbridge La Munion now lives, and died there. His sons, Aaron and Jairus, settled on the same lot west of Snow. Aaron was a Justice of the Peace in Augusta before the erection of Stockbridge. He afterwards went West. Jairus was a physician, and the first of his profession to permanently locate in the town. He was a skillful practitioner and highly esteemed for his social qualities. He practiced medicine at Munnsville till near his death, which resulted from consumption, Nov. 2, 1832, at the age of 50. He built the first saw-mill on the site of Stringer, Barr & Co.'s works at Munnsville, about 1824, and operated it till his death. Ezra, Patty, who married Sylvester Chadwick, and Matthew, were children of Matthew Rankin by his second wife. Ezra died young; Matthew went West
