This is a photo of Pauly Brothers Mill located on the west branch of Mill Creek, one mile south of Alma. The mill was constructed in 1858 by Alma founder Gottlieb Zwanziger, who sold the mill to Pauly in 1875. Pauly, a successful breadmaker in Topeka for several years, made the mill a success by expanding its size and production capabilities. The mill was later sold to H. J. Palenske, who operated it for many years.
