General Note

• The Eagle Pencil Company cedar mill (circa 1870 ? 1896) was damaged in the 1896 hurricane and storm surge. The once plentiful stands of red cedar were becoming sparse and the hurricane brought an end to the enterprise. George H. Reynolds had been manager of the mill. The Faraway Inn was later built in the early 1950's on the original site of the 19th century Eagle Pencil Company cedar mill.
