"The eldest son of Samuel Bailey, Chrispianos lived on and operated a large farm about a mile below Rock, WV. About a quarter of a mile from his beautiful home is a loop of the (Bluestone) River, one and seven-eights of a mile long; however the loop is only fifty yards across. At the neck there is a layer of rock at the river's rock above. The river falls twenty feet in the length of the loop. In 1852, Bolton (See Bolton, Matthew W.) was hired to do the work of boring a tunnel 125 ft. through this layer of sand, and erecting a mill on the lower side of the loop. This mill, known as the Tunnel Mill, was used to grind wheat and corn. A carding machine about 30 ft. long was also placed in the mill, enabling farmers of the area to card their wool. Their wives could then make clothing. The mill was busy for many years with farmers coming from as far away as Flat Top and Athens. The mill was operated until some time in the early 1900s when railway construction brought in outside goods, making the mill unprofitable. The N&W Railroad bought the mill site and then later sold it to the Virginian Railway. Later a flood washed away most of the contents of the mill was hauled from Hinton, WV on a sled pulled by a yoke of oxen. The sled runners had to be half soled several times during the trip. Also the mill was made from locust wood, and tallow was used for lubrication." (From "Tunnel Mill Rock, West Virginia" by Dollie Keys Lawrence. Contributed by Mary Harris.)
