Note: Alfred Marvin and brother Charlie came from Quincy, IL, in 1866. He was a mill-right. Alfred bought the mill from the owner two years later. When the railroad came to Plymouth there was no business left for the mill and it ceased to operate in 1893. The Lamoine Bridge was near the mill and was a wooden covered bridge, later replaced with a steel bridge in 1884. The community around the mill and bridge was called Tucker Town. (unknown author).
