Grist Mill

The old Grist Mill on this site was built by John and Dave Wilson in the late 1890's. In 1911 A.V. Church bought the mill and later sold it to the Farm Bureau. In 1922 a group of Farm Bureau members organized the Co Operative Co., and the Warren Co-Op was born. Louis Bush served as president until June 1948, when John Rinke was named president and served until he retired in 1973. Originally the mill sold grain, flour, feed, and coal, and in 1924 it expanded to sell home, farm, and hardware items. The Co-Op closed its doors in October 1995.
