Wesley Carrow, now residing near St. Georges. She has two children. The funeral will take place tomorrow morning, services at the house, interment in Odd Fellows Cemetery."
The mill site in May 2000 located on Alley Mill Road just west of Clayton is just a pond near a jog in the road. No buildings remain.
Ernie Mabrey, I was at the Historical Society of Delaware a while back and was looking thru some business directories of Delaware and came across these listings of Voshells from the area where your grandfather was born. Hope this is of use to you. Delaware State Directory, Ferris Bros., 1888: Voshell & Bros., millers, McDonough Delaware State Directory, M. A. Costa, 1894-95: J. W. Voshell, farmer, McDonough G.
