• Notes

  An oat meal mill was one of the early industries in was established by Mr. Wm Hendry, now manager of the Ontario Mutual Life of Waterloo. The enterprise was not a success, owing to doubt, to the sparsely settled farming country around. The building was some time after used as a paint mill by two men named Goodworth and Sills. If I am not incorrectly informed they manufactured mineral paints, etc., and procured the raw material from paint beds near Winterbourne. The business flourished for a few years when it was abandoned. The building was finally destroyed by fire. Tradition has it that these paint beds were discovered and utilized by the Indians long prior to the advent of white men in this region, it being used for the decoration of various articles and for the purpose of preparing the hideous facial expressions of the warriors when they were about to proceed on the war path. One of the early industries at the village was a foundry. It was built by Thomas Mulheron, afterwards of Waterloo. It was subsequently owned and operated by Mr. Solomon Kauffman, now of Washington, Oxford County, who exchanged it for a farm to A. G. Gottwaltz, of Hanover.
