Hi Nena,
A millstone was used in the grinding mills for grinding corn and wheat
and yes they are heavy.
What county did this happen in? If you sent us this info I am sorry
for asking again. It is confusing trying to keep up with all the
changes going on with the boards and lists.
Have a Good Day,
Ramona
