A Mr. Brown erected a saw mill in 1867 on the Osage, near where the present
flouring mill stands, or nearly directly in the rear of the residence of James

the lumber for the $6,000 bridge across that stream, and from there it started
on a trip to Vernon County, then back to the Sac, and finally found a resting
place at Osceola, as the property of Mr. Fuqua.
