"On Sunday night about 9 o'clock fire took place at Lusby's Mill.  We have no particulars, but learn that Acree &  Kinman's store house, the Masonic Hall, and a Carding machine, all were burned up.  The light was seen at Squire Long's on Twin, sixteen miles off, to the west." The Carrollton Democrat, September 3, 1870

Lusby’s Mill was originally called Cobbs Station, later Cobbs Mill.  The water mill at Cobbs Mill was built for William Jones, but named for his father-in-law, Samuel Cobb, a revolutionary War veteran from South Carolina.  Around 1852 John H Lusby, or perhaps his brother William H, acquired the mill, and re-named it Lusby’s Mill. - From Robert Rennick’s Kentucky Bluegrass: A Survey of the Post Offices, Vol. II.
