Yancy Mill
Phelps County, Missouri
20 June 2003

My grandparents Jerome "Jerry and Virginia "Fritz" Herzog owned Yancy Mill from 1962 - 1976orso. I have vivid memories of this beautiful place, even though I was very young during that time. One of my favorites, the Mimosa trees up by the house. Every time I see a Mimosa Tree, I think of Yancy Mill.

Please email me if you want to chat about Yancy Mill, especially if you have any stories from the period of time my grandparents owned it. :o) Linda mobr@reitech.net.

I have lots of other family photos taken at Yancy Mill up to 1976 or 1977, I will have to do some digging in old papers and see what the actual date is that my grandparents sold Yancy Mill.
