There was no scarcely of inns and hotels. The only sign of in Arnprior in 1852 was the inn kept by James Hartney in the frame shingled roofed building, with1 acre of ground on part of lot 3, concession 14. Census shows he raised 50 bushels of potatoes in 1851, had 30 lbs of wool, 20 yards of flannel, 2 milk-cows, 1 horse, 4 sheep, 2 pigs and was the only citizen of what is now the town of Arnprior. His family consisted of himself from Ireland, his wife from Scotland and his two sons James and John, aged 4 and 1 years, and Jane Harvie aged 14 from Scotland: Davide Leckie, inn keeper, hailed from Scotland, kept an hotel on lot 18, concession |JFi at Bumstown. John Frith of Irish descent and Free Church, age 32, had an hotel on lot 10, concession 4, somewhere between White Late, and Balmer Island. (Stewartville). There also lived in this vi- cinity, Duncan Ferguson, a school teach- John Moore, lot 6, concession 3, White Lake, as well as Nathan J. Wright, born in Canada, Church of England, age 26, and his wife, age 27, and sons, George F. age 2. Theirs was lot 18, concession 2, 100 acres, 20 cleared, 10 in crop,10 in pasture, 3 acres oats, yieldâ€" ? bushâ€" els, 2 acres potatoes, ? bushels, 5 tons hay, 10 lbs Wool, 25 yards flannel. David Goodwin, lot 1, concession 4, was classed as farmer and Postmaster. Where was this office located, was it at Goodwin‘s Bay? There is the remains of an old village at this place. Other items noted were VWliam Harrison, a student from the USA; a child of Mathew Ryan, age 4 1/2 years, died during the year from ‘affect of burning’. There was only one indigent in the township. There was also a visitor,. named Mrs. Rocheford from Ireland, address unknown, age 23, and Michael Hogan, age 39, and John Maloney, age .30, born in Ireland, but hailing from Bytown. Dress makers were Elizabeth Merrien, born Canada, age 27. Mary McIntyre, age 17. A sad recording is that of the drowning of Eustache Barbe and family of 9 persons. A child of his died in the year 1851. They were classed as French Canadian. From the foregoing, one may note that the mills of Arnprior were silent ruins. However, we glean that at the Madawaska bridge, now known as Burnstown, there was a grist mill of .tvvo runs of stones, run by water power from the Madawaska river, owned and operated by Geoâ€" erge Rochester, hailed from the United States; trade was principally custom work; but it was important. There passed through the mills in 1851, 7,456 bushels of wheat, 545 bushels of corn and peas. At White Lake there was also a Mr. John Paris, who emigrated from Scotland. He ran a grist mill, run by waterpower by the Waba Creek and ground in 1851, 5,281 bushels of wheat and 500 bushels of oats and com. This enterprising gentleman also had a woollen mill which carded in 1851, about 3,500 lbs. of wool. Nor was this all. His saw mill produced within the same period about 30,000 feet of boards. 1020f105
