JOHN HOLE was born in Preble County, Ohio in 1814, and raised in Darke County, Ohio. In 1847 he moved to Recovery and remained there until 1850, and finally settled in Celina, where he established a flouring mill (the same year) on the west bank of the reservoir, which mill runs both by steam and water. The engine is a 40-horse power, and can manufacture fifty barrels of flour every twenty-four hours. In the mill are three pairs of burrs, two for wheat and one for other chops. It is situated on an acre and a half of ground, and valued at $1000.
