He started from Grandview, Ohio, on the Ohio River, in a flatboat for Illinois. They floated down the Ohio River to the mouth of the Wabash, and with ropes pulled the boat up stream to the Vermillion River, and camped a short distance up that stream. They landed and located in Vermillion county, Illinois, on a farm near Georgetown. Here Mr. Kyger was raised on a farm until he was about eighteen years old. He then commenced to work at the millwright business. In 1849 he, in company with Wm. Sheets, Thomas Morgan and H.T. Kyger commenced the erection of a steam flour mill in Georgetown, which was thr first steam flour mill built in Vermillion county. In 1850 it was finished by Daniel Kyger, Thomas Morgan and N. Henderson and Son at a cost of about $6,000. This mill had three run of stone. Here Mr. Kyger remained in the mill until 1854. This year, in company with Nathaniel Henderson and Sons, he went to Danville and commenced the erection of what is now known as the Danville Flour Mills. This was also the first steam flour mill erected in Danville. It had three run of stone and commenced grinding in 1856. Here Mr. Kyger remained about eight years. In 1865 he came to the present mill. This mill was first built by William Sheets and and Thomas Morgan in about 1833, and commenced grinding in 1834. It was known for a number of years as the Morgan & Sheets Mill. In connection with their grist-mill they erected a saw-mill. This was one of the first water mills in this neighborhood, and drew custom for forty miles around. They first commenced with one run of stone, but soon after had two run of stone. Morgan and Sheets continued until about 1842. In 1850 Henry Kyger became owner of the mill. In 1865 the firm of Kyger Brothers was formed, and continued until 1873, when Mr. D. Kyger took full charge. In 1865 the Kyger Brothers made improvements to the mill at a cost of about $8,000." |
