From The History of Morrow County (Google Books):
The first saw-mill was built by Timothy Aldrich in 1825, and four years later he added a corn-mill. [...] As illustrating the scarcity of lumber in an early day, it is related that when the father of Comfort and Benjamin Olds died, there was no lumber for a coffin nearer than Delaware. So Timothy Aldrich gave his wagon body for that purpose, and the nails of the same were carefully drawn and used to nail the coffin. A piece of the same wagon box is in the possession of his son, Smith Aldrich, and is used as an "ironing board."
