From HH: 1989 - The old mill was west of Wells paint building. If one came out the office door, across Route 73 and down the street parallel with the RR track it would have been just beyond the last brick building, which faces Pearl Street, parallel to Route 73.
That corn place was on Careytown Road on one side and the RR tracks on the other side.
From John: 1999 - name of the town we had lunch in was Wellington, Ohio just south of Oberlin.
