Yes, it’s that mill again Okay, we think this is right. For sure it’s the last word. Sheldon Mac Avoy wrote to correct a prior caller on the location of the former Trucksville Feed Mill. Mr. Mac Avoy distinctly recalls, as do others, that the mill stood just south of Harris Hill Road. On the same side of the road below the mill, he writes, were the American grocery store, a post office and some years later the DeRemer appliance store. At the intersection of the present Rt. Carverton Road was a general store operated by George Shaver Sr. Mr. Mac Avoy’s recollections square with a number of other readers we've heard from. 309 and PROPERTY TRANSFERS The following property trans- fers were recorded recently at the Luzerne County Court- house: Michael Cominsky and spouse to Mark Farrell and spouse, Dallas, $160,000.
