Historical Note
In 1822, Charles Owen and Thomas Hurlbut assumed ownership of a paper mill in South Lee, Massachusetts and operated the business as the Owen and Hurlbut Paper Company. The partnership was dissolved in 1860, but the mill continued in business and still operates today as Onyx Specialty Papers, Inc.
