reads as follows:
"The first settlers were Alex

DunCan, Who owned ` the, farm on

west side, of: the village .surveyed
off his farm. _Likewise, Mr. Carite-

• There were two sawmills, the
first one built on the south side of
the river by W. H. and Joseph
Leech. There was a division in the
mill,• wheat being ground into
flour on the north side with Chas.
Herbert, first miller. Flour • was
made there until the present mill
Was built; The contractors who
built the present mill were Alex

ley. It',was ;built of heavy timbers
for which block and tackle were
used. in erecting, This mill was
once rented to C. Sherriff and once
to John Johns, afterwards sold to
I. Nixon, who failed so it fell back
to Joe, Leech. It was then purchas-
ed by Duff and Stewart who built
the Cement dam at a Cost of four-
teen hundred dollars besides being
given considerable gratis wdrk
drawing, material,
Referring back to the mill which
was divided, in the south side logs
were sawn into lumber with an
up and down saw. On account of
the ways the logs were held on the
carriage, the lumber could not .be
out off clean but left a stub shot
three or four. inches on the end
of each board. This SON;, was after-
wards replaced by a cirettlar.
