Lately, in Corinna...

February 1, 2003

 

I found a reference to E. P. Burrill in William Sawtell's book "20th Century Corinna", published in 1984. I am assuming this would be the same Elam P. Burrill (1825-1909) pictured here. He established the first grist mill in Corinna. In 1870 Elam went into business with W. A. Ireland to build the first grain elevator and feed supply house in town. In 1882 they sold the business to L. F. Ireland. That building burned in the fire of 1903. The next year L. F. Ireland built a new store and grist mill.
