Image: Haun's Mill marker

Description: 04 Aug 2006 photo of marker at Haun's Mill, Caldwell County, Missouri 22 April 2008 The site of the Haun's Mill well is unknown. This marker designates the approximately 32 acres owned by Jacob Haun in the settlement. In 1887, Josiah Fuller's son visited the site of Haun’s Mill to locate his father's resting-place. With Charles Ross' assistance, Fuller moved a red millstone fragment from the old mill onto the well to commemorate those who died. The stone was partially buried edgeways. In 1888, LDS members Andrew Jenson, Edward Stevenson and Joseph Smith Black visited the site from Utah. They readily located the well by means of the red stone. The red stone apparently remained in place at the well site until 1941 when area resident Glen E. Setzer cast a concrete marker near the entry road. Perhaps unaware of the meaning of the red sandstone standing over the well site, Setzer moved it to the new marker site. The location of the well has been uncertain ever since. The RLDS Church [now Community of Christ] purchased the Haun's Mill property around 1970. In May 2012 it was announced that the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints had acquired the property from the Community of Christ.
