"If you drive out North Second Street when you cross Franklin you will see a large weather beaten mill and mill yard. They cover more than a fourth block of land. This mill was built by Hauck Brothers in 1865. When first built it was called Excelsior Mill. Later Mr. George M. Hauck bought out his brother's interest. After a time the business was organized under the name, Hauck Milling Company. The mill was in operation until a few years ago.
