Dr. Swisher has made a hobby of studying old mills, reading about the evolution of water wheels and millstones, discovering the sites where grist was ground and lumber sawed, and visiting silent, dilapidated structures once filled with the roar of whirling gear. It is a fascinating subject, especially in relation to the industrial development of Iowa. As a phase of the life and achievements of the people of this Commonwealth, the story of mills has a place in the Centennial History of Iowa.".
