Sarah Elizabeth Morningstar (1859-1924), her husband George Erwin Porter (1856-1942) , and their youngest daughter Rhea Agnes (1903- 1974). George like his father, Seth, was a very successful miller in Kent County, Michigan. Among other endeavors he owned and operated Porter Mill at Porter Hollow on Stegman Creek in northern Kent County. Sarah and George married 15 April 1876 in Cedar Springs, Michigan. Rhea was the youngest of six children including my 2nd great grandfather, Charles Erwin Porter.

Does anyone have pictures of the Mill? I am from the Cedar Springs Museum and interested in doing a story on the mill for our news letter.

You know, I don’t remember seeing one but I don’t think I really looked. I know it burned twice (in 1936 and 1937) and no pictures were associted with the Rockford Register articles. It might be worth asking the Rockford Museum. I could certainly check with my Porter family as well. But it seems like I would have seen something by now.
