The Old Mill at Cedar Mill?1859-1892
By *Hazel P. Young, as published by the Washington County Historical Society (date unknown).
The Jones Lumber Mill, which stood at the intersection of what is now known as 119th Street and Cornell Road, was built by Justus Jones and his son, John Halsey Jones. They operated the mill from approximately 1855 until 1879.
The Jones family, having prospered, went on to purchase three acres from the James Terwilliger Donation Land Claim, along the Willamette River, between Portland and Sellwood, on what today is known as Macadam Road. The new mill was organized by the sons John Halsey and Elibu Jones, as the (E.K.) Jones Lumber Company. This large mill in Portland operated for nearly a century before operations ceased in 1962.
The little mill on Cornell Road was sold to John Quincy Adams Young and partner William. H. Everson in 1869, and was operated by them for several years. Mr. Young, wishing to farm his large acreage and operate a store and post office, sold out to Everson. It seems as if the mill changed hands a few times between the Eversons, but later sold out to ?Linc? and Jasper Young, sons of J. Q. A. Young. These two young men operated the mill until the timber supply was exhausted. The mill was dismantled in 1892. (The preceding text is a partial excerpt from the entire article)
