Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wild Turkeys and Tallow Candles One October day in 1917 a far-traveled Pierce-Arrow car paused on the highway half a mile east of Granville, Ohio, and turning to the left took its course southward down a steep grade into an uninviting by-road. Going a few hundred yards it was stopped by a bridge, obviously frail, and the occupants of the car continued their explorations on foot. Where was that ever-flowing stream of artesian well-water which once came into existence when borings were made to find coal? An old woman from a solitary house explained that a disagreement over boundaries had provoked one of the parties to plug the pipe, and so the water flowed no more. Since when had cows been grazing in the mill-race, - once the home of catfish and mud-turtles? Just where did the forebay reach across the cart-road from the race to the big wheel, - that leaky forebay with its ever ready shower-bath? How long had the mill itself been gone? The automobile turned back and took its pilgrims to a district north of the highway. "The frost is on the punkin and the fodder's in the shock" where formerly a willow-bordered mill-pond had welcomed skaters and fishermen and swimming boys, according to the season. Was there non corn-land enough in Licking County that Norton Case's good mill-pond should be thus sacrificed?
