By the middle of 1863, the Oxford Democrat was reporting that the steam mill recently established to the west of Bethel Hill seemed "destined to do a good business."

In 1860, Bethel had a wide variety of skilled or semi skilled workers.

With the war came the expansion of industries such as the extensive Hastings Lumber Company and other industries.
