Sawmills and gristmills were built using water power from the streams. Larger brick mills followed to manufacture textiles. In 1864 the Worumbo Mill was established to produce woolens and would remain a principal employer until it burned in 1987. By 1880 Booker had changed his profession to stone mason perhaps signifying the phasing out of the handmade shoe industry. unknown books
