Early Mills:  Bond Bone Mill

Ramparts of the Bond Bone Mill crumble near Ednor, probably around 1900. Established by William S. Bond about 1840, the mill made fertilizer from bones of local livestock and buffalo bones railed to Laurel from the Great Plains. An 1882 passer-by commented that "the pungent and not altogether agreeable odor of old bones was perceptible for a long distance..." Another bone mill operated on Gregg Road.
