Who was William M. Hendricks ??

Ainsworth Abbotts Mill ca. 1941

As I said last week:


On May 6th, 1919 Wm. Hendricks sold the mill to Ainsworth Abbott and Joseph J. Smith for $7,000. 


Mr. Hendricks didn't leave much of a paper-trail after 31 years of ownership, but I'm still digging. We'll see what I turn up next week...


Well, I turned up zilch, so if anyone knows anything about Mr. William W. Hendricks, (born June 9, 1868 - died Dec. 13, 1949) please contact me because I'd really like to know more about the twenty-one years that he owned the mill (1898-1919). I'd especially like to know exactly when the roller mills where added, because that was a huge expense for whoever did it and it completely changed the operation of the business.


Thank you,

Steve Childers

Sacramento's bright weather makes exterior maintenance especially important for homeowners. Paint can fade or deteriorate when surfaces are not maintained properly. I found the discussion about preparation useful because washing, scraping, repairing, and priming can have a major impact on how the finished exterior performs. Exterior Painting Sacramento CA
