"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. |
