The ice flood, which shows the annex on the Grove St. blacksmith shop (site of village barn now), I don't know if they would have had a turbine in the creek under this or not but could have made it handler to access water with a pail. But deeds from c. 1840 mention the right of a millrace across the property and street to the machine shop across the street, which would later use steam until Linn installed a gasoline engine about a century ago.
