see the chapter on the Montgomery settlers. Before there was a grist mill in operation, grain was ground with querns, according to the Rev. S.G. Lawson ; these were small hand mills. The early grist mills did not sift the flour, and this had to be done by the farmers when they got their flour home from the mill; they used home-made sieves: sheepskin with holes punched with a red-hot wire; this also according to Mr. Lawson . He was born in Stanhope and as a direct descendant of David Lawson may be considered a fairly reliable source. A map of 1790 shows just one mill, on what is known as Mill Creek and this is probably David Lawson's grist mill: a map of 1824 shows this same mill on Mill Creek . Later maps (1851,1880) show a grist mill and a shingle and saw mill on the other creek running into ; this was known as Auld's Creek, and members of this family operated both mills. On September 5, 1849 Robert Auld (second son of Robert Jr . "Shoemaker" Auld) was killed in the mill; his scarf caught in a wooden cog and he was drawn in and crushed. James Auld , brother of Robert above, was the miller in 1861 and continued until his death in 1879; his son Walter succeeded him. The Aulds sold both mills to Malcolm S. Kielly and George Kielly , who in turn sold to Frank Marshall , who had been working for them at the mill; this was in 1916, the year Malcolm Kielly died. Frank Marshall operated the grist mill until 1923, and the saw and shingle mill until 1942, with the help of his lillilliliil ???Piwiiiii Marshall Saw and Shingle Mill at Marshall's Pond c. 1940 Mary J.
