Jack O. Platter bought a farm on Piney River about 1/2 mile from Boiling Springs, built a house, dredged a ditch across his land (where the river bends) and opened it into the river. He made an earth and rock dam at the head of the ditch. A water gate turned the water into the ditch. He then installed a grist mill near the river at the lower end of the ditch.

The house, on the hilll above the springs, had a one-room store and post office on the front of it, and the property extended across the river and up the hill on the other side. The post office was called Raftville because rafts of logs were floated from there down river. The family was very lively and social; almost everyone played a musical instrument or sang. George and Sarah were the parents of twelve children of which ten lived to adulthood. They were: Alta (1882-1961) who married Orville Hollenbeck; Etha (1884-1942) who married Green Tuttle; Gertrude (1885-1945) who married Hiram Isaacs; John J. (1887-1930) (see his history); Jacob W.
