A couple of months ago Dad gave me a book entitled "The History of Cooperstown". I did not realize that my grandfathers side of the family held a place of such importance in that little rural town. A. P. Miles owned a water wheel mill on the little stream that ran through the town. Driving into Cooperstown just the other day, my eye caught a site that mad my mind begin to whirl. After asking around we found that this wheel was in the backyard of the old Miles home.
Just as we were ready to pull out of the driveway from getting the above picture we saw this grinding wheel from the mill propped up by a rock. I guess it gave me a funny feeling knowing my ancestors made a living from this very spot.
