Rogers' Mill fonds : [1868-1914]

  • CA PCA Acc4979
  • Fonds
  • Copied 2007

The fonds contains photocopies of records from David Rogers' Dunk River Mills, including a ledger (ca. 1868-1887), three daily logs (1889-1893; 1895; 1895-1896), and miscellaneous newspaper articles and other papers from inside the ledger (ca. 1901, 1912, 1914). The ledger names the mill customers, prices and the products milled for them, such as wool, oats, flour, boards, shingles, etc. The later handwriting and agricultural newspaper articles pasted into the ledger were put there by Frank Lawson Cairns (1895-1964) of Lower Freetown, grandson of David Rogers. The daily logs hold rough notes about mill orders and payments. These transactions were likely recorded in the log books in the course of daily business activities at the mill, with the intention that they later be transferred into the bound ledger.
