An Old Mill

An old water wheel mill was located near the bridge by Ervin Robertson's and it is believed that a man had been drowned

in the mill dam but no further knowledge can be obtained on this at the present time.

Saw Mill

Ervin Robertson began his career as a miller by sawing the lumber he needed for various purposes on a hand bench. In 1939

he and his father, Lester, sawed the material needed for Ervin's modern house in this manner.

The first part of his present up—to—date mill was erected in 1962 and an extension was built in 1970. It is powered by

diesel. Before purchasing the diesel his sawing was done with

the use of car engines, tractors and a John Deere semi-diesel from Seldon MacLean's mill.

Fewer Saw Mills

In the early 1890's there were 172 mills in the province and now only about 50.

Loss of Dragger

The dragger, Gloria Mae, came ashore at Bothwell Beach in a heavy wind and rain storm around 2 a.m. on December 7, 1962. The

owner and captain was Mike Keus Jr. With him were Lee Jenkins and George Jackson.
