The Story of the Titus & Hicks Mill Founded in 1853


Listen Later

The Titus & Hicks Mill was originally founded by Richard Titus and Ellery Hicks in 1853.  After they passed away, the mill past away their sons took over the operation.  Making bold and revolutionary moves, the sons tore down the old mill and rebuilt it, increasing production of the mill by 5X and a few years later advanced it to 8X more than when their fathers owned it.  It is an interesting story from the pioneer period of Michigan, taking place in Battle Creek.
