WAYNESBURG MILLING COMPANY

Among the most noteworthy (and perhaps longest) histories of any business in our area today is that of Waynesburg Milling Company. The earliest known documentation of the mill's existence is found in a July 27, 1886 article of The Waynesburg Republican titled "A Feather in Greene County's Cap and a Good Thing for the Farmer". Known as the "New Process" mill operated by the Waynesburg Roller Mill Company provided a local market for grain farmers. The mill produced flour using 600 bushels of wheat a day... In December of 1898 the mill was sold to John T. Rees, William A. and T.B. Dinsmore who installed new machinery and increased the capacity to grind 4500 bushels a day.
