On order of Probate by Judge
Henry W. Gregory. the Ryder Mill,
located on the Silvcrminc river
stream in the heart of the Silvormlne
colony and one of the landmarks of
that section of Norwalk, is to be
sold at auction. The sale is to take
place a 3 o'clock. Saturday. July 19.
under the direction of “'illiam Guth-
rie, auctioneer.

BuBil: more than one
years ago. the Ryder .‘Vlill today
stands practically unchanged. \V‘ho
originally constructed the mill is
not. known; but the property way
back in _ the eighteenth ’century
passed through the hands of tho
Quigloys. the Athens. the Gllel‘lS
and the Comstocks. It finally came
into the possession of Henry 1-”.
Guthrie some 7') years ago. Upon
the death of the latter some :5 years;
ago. it. was purchased by Mr. Ryder
Who retained possession until his
death.

The Ryder mill has a wonderful
historical history. Originally. it if.
believed. the mill was used for tho
manufacture of hats. In the Civil
war it was one of the valued manu-
facturing plants for the Union army.
At the mill. was turned .out stocks
for guns. tent pegs and other wood.
on materials which were used by the
army.

“'hen the mill came into the pos.
session of the Guthrie family, i'.
was used for making wooden knobs.
drawer pulls and euchutchcons. in
fact. it was the only place in the
United States where esehutchcons
were made for some years.

BBut. in recent years. the mill dot-
erloratcd. The original dam which
formed a. beautiful natural lake
above the mill gave way before the

hundred

pressure of Father Time. it was
never rebuilt. For years, Mr. Ry-
dcr's Ono ambition in life “as to

rebuild the dam. \"ith extraordinary
patiencc he worked day in and day
out. on the project. He was not.
satisfied with the old method of dam
construction. He wanted a dam that
would stand forever. \\'ith this idea
In view. be hauled and parted with
the aid of hand-operatvd dcrricks.
immense bolder: to the darn. But
the dam was never completed. Mr.
llydcr died a. few-months ago.

Those who live in the Silvcrmlnc
colony say that Mr. Ryder \\ as a
mechanical genius. lie was a \'.‘0ll—
der around machinery. Before tali—
ing over the mill. he had been cm-
ploycd by the late Mr. Guthrie as
a. mill—wright. His genius can even
he seen today in the old mill which
is filled with lathcs. etc. \V‘licn the
Old dam gave way. Mr. Ryder rcfusud
to follow modern methods and use
gasoluic. steam or electricity as
power. but rigged the lathe: so that
they could he turned by hand. Upon
Mr. Rydcr’s death. the property
went to :I. nephew. David Ryder of
\K’atcrbury. and is still under the
jurisdiction of the Probate Court
under whose direction the property
I: to be sold.

The property itself consists of two
buildings. There is the upper and
principal mill. Below this building
is another mill which for the past
few years has been used as the Sil—
vermino Village room. In neither
of these buildings is the original mill

Many matters were brought up
and disposed of by the Common
Council at its regular meeting in the
Council Chambers at the City Hall.
last evening. The meeting was open-
ed by Mayor Robins shortly after
eight o'clock and adjourned at 10:49.

A letter from H. E. Bailey. Super-
intendent of the New York Division
or the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad company, in
which he asked that the Council
grant the roilroad company permis-
sion, to replace the gates at the

was read by the City Clerk.
