The Moulton Lumber Company

Charles Moulton worked as a farmer until 1882 when he moved to a house at the outlet of Adam's Pond and purchased the Adam's Sawmill. Charles, who was in his 40's at the time, worked there until his death in 1927 at age 77. The mill was passed on to his son George.

George worked at the mill and raised his 3 sons in the two story house across the street from the mill. All 3 sons initially worked at the mill, but Arthur eventually became the primary owner. Under his direction the obsolete mill on the pond was closed and a modern mill and building supply storewas built about a quarter of a mile from the original site.

After Arthur's death at age 73, in December of 1989, the mill passed on to three of Arthur's five children. Allen, Edward and Carl, all of West Newfield. At that time there was a recession in business in the country which they weathered through. After which they bought an old apple cold storage building in Cornish which they refinished into a drive-thru lumber yard. Since 1996 the lumber yard has prospered, serving the towns of Cornish, Baldwin, Hiram, Parsonsfield, Porter and many other outlying towns.
