        MILLER C. BLACHLY, miller, was born May 8, 1853, in Porter County;
     he is one of seven children born to CORNELIUS and CHRISTINA (LAUGHLIN)
     BLACHLY.  The elder BLACHLY was a physician.  They moved to Salt Creek
     in the spring of 1869.  Young BLACHLY received the usual early edu-
     cation advantages, and about seventeen years of age, he began working
     for his father, then owner of the present mill, as a teamster for
     about three years; he now entered the mill, working there until the
     spring of 1875, when he bought a quarter interest, which he now owns.
     The mill is well known, and is probably the first one built in the
     county, and has been known by the name of the "Gosset Mill," one of
     the best water-mills in the county; it has two runs of buhrs, and does
     an extensive amount of custom work.  The dam includes about 160 acres,
     and furnishes excellent water-power.  He is a member of the F. & A. M.
     Lodge, of Wheeler, Porter County, Ind.  In December, 1875, he married
     FRANCES STAFFORD, a native of Liberty Township.  They have one child,
     GOLDIE M.  In politics, Mr. BLACHLY is a Republican.
