In connection with this mill, I will relate an anecdote which occurred in 1829, while the carding machine was in operation. A budget of rolls was missed, belonging to Zenas Warren, of Chardon, and suspicion rested on S. S. Hillbert, who had been around in that neighborhood for some days. He was a well studied physician, and might have had a good amount of practice in his profession, but was too dishonest to follow any reputable busines. He had previously served an apprenticeship in the penitentiary, and had been discharged. In early life, he had married a respectable lady, daughter of Deacon Scranton, residing in Chester, who died about the time of his incarceration, leaving three small boys, who were taken into the family of their grandsire. After his return, Mrs. Scranton told him she would like to have him get some wool from which she could manufacture some clothes for the boys, which he promised to do. Some little time after this he brought a budget of carded rolls to her, which he said he had bought of a Mr. Covey. It became known that a budget of rolls had been stolen from Rider's mill, and that the doctor had brought some to Mrs. Scranton's. He was soon after arrested and had an examination before Lebbeus Norton, esq., of Chester, and was placed in the county jail, but the rolls he brought to Mr. Scranton's were only about half the quantity that was stolen. A search was instituted, and the remainder found concealed in a slashing on Mr. Scranton's place; but I will here say that no blame was attached to Mr. Scranton or any of his family in this matter. He remained in jail until the next term of the court of common pleas, when the grand jury found a bill for burglary. The bill was drawn by Alfred Phelps, esq., then prosecuting attorney, and was found to be deficient. He was finally tried for petit larceny, and sentenced to fine and imprisonment in the county jail; but as he had no property from which to collect the fine, and, as his imprisonment would become an expense to the county, he was discharged. This was altogether a strange transaction, and by many was judged to be the work of free masonry. After being discharged from jail, the doctor strayed off into Wayne county, where he married a Dutch lady of some means, and was soon after appointed a postmaster and franked a number of letters to his children, in Chester. He finally removed to some place in Indiana, where I believe he died.
