Ruins in Carthage, looking over at Guyot Island
In 1884 a fire
swept across the mills and factories of Carthage, destroying many of them and
leaping from the west side of the Black River to the businesses on the islands,
then across to the east side. More info about the Great Carthage
Fire of 1884 can be found
on this page
at the
JeffCoWiki.
Thanks to Scannerman for the suggestion and directions to
this location for these series of pics.
Also see the photos of the Tannery Island Mill in
Carthage on Page 33.

Old mill building or railroad building in Carthage,
Grape Island
*Jack S. says "This was the office of the Island Paper Mill. The mill was closed
when the minimum wage law came into effect. The owner said no one would tell him
how much to pay his help. The men were encouraged to find other jobs, but if
they showed up to work they drew a paycheck." and "Several years ago there
was an auction at this place, one of the items was a Duisenberg car." |
