Whole build: county books, atlas directory, trade press, benches and modern carriers
Three women stand in the roster with firm linkages, all of them in the mill and lumber lines. Mary Elting held the flouring mill from the mortgage sale of 1860 to the Harris and Hall purchase of 1864. Mary Ann Siders is listed by the 1875 atlas, in its own words, as "Owner of Mill." Gladys (Hass) Foley succeeded to the lumber businesses with her brothers in 1956 and, with her husband William Foley, took the retail yards — the line that includes Roseland's — in the 1968 division, holding them into the Big C era. No other woman is named as a business owner in any carrier swept for this build. Susana Wenger, whose Clay Township land the township took gravel and sand from under the 1903 contract the courts later read, prints adjacent to this roster as a landholder in a litigated transaction, not as a business owner, and stands in the farms file.
