One of the flour mills operated by Jacob and Johannes Ehrlich. In the year following their arrival from Russia in 1875, Johannes built a mill on the west edge of Marion. He sold it in 1910, but the brothers purchased a mill one mile south of Marion on the Cottonwood River. They continued in business for 50 years.
