Wilson Dameron operated this mill as early as the 1830s on the north side of Clear Creek at a site that is today covered by Lake Fayetteville. On at least one map, the mill was identified as Banner’s Mill. Whether this was an earlier name or a mistake is unknown. “Dameron” was often misspelled, including Damron, Damrow and Damson. Later, T.J. Bridenthal owned the land and the mill became known as Bridenthal’s Mill.
