Sprankle and Smith Mills

This is an old photo owned by the Jackson Township Historical Society of Michael Sprankle's mill on High Mill Road taken in the 1800's. Michael owned the mill at one time, but he was not the builder or original owner. Michael is my great-great-great grandfather.

All that is left of the old mill is its stone foundation.

Using the timbers and equipment from the old Sprankle Mill, the Smith Mill was built in 1925 in Crystal Springs, Jackson Township in Stark County. It was used primarily as a Cider Mill. Below are photos of the building today which is on private property and adjoins a private residence.
