John Fahle (1862 – 1925)

         John Fahle was the owner and operator of a sawmill and grain mill located at the corner of Krotzer and LeMoyne Rds. He also ran a sugar press and had a steam process that made some of the best apple butter. Early 1920’s the John Fahle Mill was purchased by the Martin Co. and moved to the area north of the post office. The mill was a large, heavy three-story building and some considered it impossible to move. The move was successful and became the center section of the Luckey Lumber Company. The John Fahle residence was 516 Krotzer Ave. John Fahle pumped oil wells in the Luckey area. He was killed in an accident while pumping an oil well near Lemoyne.
