Directory: Before 1864, Buffalo, Erie, New York; Saint Joseph Catholic Church 3
Occupation: 1864, Elkhart, Elkhart, Indiana; Owner, Elkhart City Mills, flouring mill 4
Biography: 1881, Elkhart County, Indiana 5
V. Voisinet and family came to Elkhart from Buffalo NY. Mr Voisinet had been a farmer near that city. He bought the old mill owned by Morehouse & Swift and carried that on a few years with Nicholas Webber. He then purchased Mr Webber's interest and conducted the business individually for a few years. His son V. E. Voisinet went into partnership with him two years since. A. M. Doll also taking an interest the firm assuming the style of V. Voisinet & Co. Mr Voisinet built the present four story mill in the fall of 1875. It is supplied with four run of stones and one double set of rolls and is fitted up in all respects as a first class flouring mill. The grain converted in this mill is purchased in the vicinity and the product mostly shipped to the East thus making it a home enterprise of great local value and one of the most important in Elkhart.

THE ELKHART CITY MILLS When 16 years ago in 1864 Vincent Voisinet engaged in the flouring mill business here he probably hoped for the time to come when he would control a larger mill than the one then run. If such was the case the hope has been realized for in April 1876 his new mill was started. The Elkhart City Mills are located on Jackson street east side of the Elkhart river in a very central location. The building is a frame structure 26x56 feet four floors and from foundation to garret is as neat as a housewife's kitchen. The power is derived from the Elkhart hydraulic using four Leffel turbine water wheels giving about 60 horse power. The mill which represents an investment of about $15,000 has four run of four foot burrs and its ordinary work will be running 24 hours 125 to 150 bbls of flour per day. The entire mill is new. Its machinery is new and careful pains have been taken in equipping it that nothing but the best from the burrs to the bolting cloths should be put in place. As a result it is an interest that will reflect credit upon its proprietor builder and the community.

Notes:
It is proven Joseph Benjamin Voisinet (1856-1872) could not be Joseph Voisin (1858-1916). Although he was born about the same time and in Buffalo, New York, near Welland County, Ontario, he moved with his family to Elkhart, Indiana, where he died as a teenager. He could not have returned to the Buffalo area and to Welland County in 1875, when Joseph Voisin (1858-1916) was there.
