Meisenhelder Mill

In the early 1870s, Amos Meisenhelder was traveling through Palestine, Illinois on his way home.  He saw that the local mill, Condit Mill, was for sale.  When Amos arrived home, he told his father about Condit Mill because they had been in the milling business for many years. The Condit Mill was bought in 1872 and became known as the Meisenhelder and Sons. The Meisenhelder Mill for grain and other things.  It was located at 419 South Jackson Street in Palestine, Illinois. The famous bread brand “Our Pride ” was made from flour from the Meisenhelder Mill.  The mill was so successful, that they ended up building a new one by the railroad that was much fancier than the original mill.  This mill stayed in the family until they sold it in the late 50s.  It then became known as the Daly Mill.
