The mill stones came from the first grist mill in this area, built in 1868 by Elam Cheney Sr., a pioneer of 1847. At the request of President Brigham Young, he quarried and shaped the stones and moved them and his family to Fairview, where he also blacksmithed the iron and carpentered the wood. The stones were turned by an overshot water wheel powered by water from the Sanpitch River.
