*Elias Zeh, (1839-1907) built the South Berne Grist Mill before 1880.<ref name="Northrup">[[Orlo J. Northrup]]</ref>. The Zeh operation had the capacity for grinding 20,000 bushels of grain a year.<ref name="Our Heritage">[[Our Heritage]]</ref>
*The grist mill burned, and in the early 1900s Charles Onderdonk (1866-1934) purchased the property and rebuilt the mill.<ref name="Northrup">[[Orlo J. Northrup]]</ref><ref name="Our Heritage">[[Our Heritage]]</ref>

Onderdonk also operated the [[South Berne Sawmill]], a clover mill, and a shingle machine.<ref name="Our Heritage">[[Our Heritage]]</ref>
==Power==
The main water supply was from a swampy area a mile above the hamlet of South Berne known as Mud Hollow Pond. A smaller dam at the mill site with a high stone bulkhead (still intact) was the direct power supply to the mill site. As this dam had a gradual sloping bottom it was used by churches for immersion baptism.

There was a small dam below this which powered the [[Andrew Sweet Mill]].<ref name="Northrup">[[Orlo J. Northrup]]</ref>

Onderdonk had an earthen dam built across the drainage stream of Mud Hollow Pond, which is now known as [[Onderdonk Lake]].

Onderdonk used a steam Engine when the water supply was low.<ref name="Our Heritage">[[Our Heritage]]</ref>
