  1. Once there was a large corn mill in Mosstown which accomodacted a large number of people. Even the people from the county Meath and Dublin sent their corn to be ground. It was considered that the best flour and wheaten meal was made there.
    This mill was burned the last day of February 1912. There was a large fire for drying the oats in the mill. The oats took on fire and the fire engines were called. But by the time they arrived it was too late. This was a great loss to the country. The ruins are still to be seen there.
