The Stanstead Journal

  • Article « Pioneer Life on the Frontier », Feb. 7, 1952
    • Stanstead Journal: first printed in the Wood building. The present office was for a dwelling house, for a person known in those days as “Abe Wheeler”. Since 1860, except for a few years the printing presses have been run by the same power that runs the machinery in the ad- …ining factory. The “Mammoth store” was built on the site of the old saw mill and lumber yard.

    • Freeman Haskell:
      • In 1823, Freeman Haskell purchased from the Kilborns the entire water power of the canal, with the saw mill, grist mill and clothier’s works, and built a linseed-oil mill. He began with good prospects, but was unfortunately killed by falling against the saw in his mill. His arm was cut entirely off, and survived the accident but a few days. His brother, Sylvanus C. Haskell, succeeded him in the business, but soon after sold out and left the country. (p. 33)
