APRIL 9 ISSUE ANSWERS: Nine years ago I used this photo of Fred Kegler’s Cider Mill and Clyde Craig’s blacksmith shop. The two buildings were on South Bailey Street in the church’s parking lot. This triggered Robert Totten’s memory and he responded with this information. What could be better than going to the source? This was in 2016 when Robert shared this story with our museum: “This was my grandad’s, Fred Kegler’s Cider Mill. He would mill all the local orchard’s apples into cider for them. Grandad also raised chickens for sale to individuals and farmers. This business was the Newhouser Hatchery. It operated between 1930 and 1940. The mill was taken down sometime in the 40’s. The building to the left in the picture was Clyde Craig’s blacksmith shop. I used to stop in and watch Clyde shoe horses. He was a very talented blacksmith. The shop was moved north and became the historical society museum. My parents, Phillis and Bill Totten ran Totten’s Restaurant on North Main Street.” Robert Totten, 2016 This is the last of our mill series. The next series will rotate between the Romeo business buildings and artifacts in the Romeo Historical Society’s three museums.
