After 1880, the Ballou Mill was purchased and used by a number of owners, including James P. and Edgar K. Ray and The Rhode Island Dyeing and Finishing Co.
The Harris Mill was no longer in operation by 1870 since Harris had moved most of his operation to Main Street. In 1890 Harris Mill #1 was sold to the Mowry Grist Mill Co, which had purchased Arnold’s Grist Mill property in 1862. The two mills were consolidated and would continue operations until 1919.
In 1862 the Lyman Mill was sold to J.P. and J.G. Ray. Its operations continued until the mid-1890s.
