"Tour Takes in 3 Linn County 'Ghost' Towns - Lafayette, Flemmingville & Alice"
......... Just another quarter mile up the road lived Edgar Notbohm, whose grandfather, Frederick, built the mill in 1875. ......

He remembered going to a store in Flemmingville where carpets were woven - mostly because he received some free candy.........
