Notice biographique
David Rogers (1831-1908) was born in Llanstephen, Caermarthenshire, Wales, and immigrated with his parents, Jonah Rogers and Anna Thomas, to Central Bedeque, Prince Edward Island, in 1838. In 1854, David bought a farm in Freetown. In 1867, he began leasing the Dunk River Mills in South Freetown from the widow of George Miller Wright. He bought the mills and the 125 acre farm in 1870. He had two men working in the mills full time, plus extra help in the busy season. Women were hired to work in the carding mill. In 1906 David Rogers sold the mill and six acres to Albert Oakes. Later the grist mill building became a hydro plant and Austin Scales later operated the Scales Hydro Electric Company here from 1929 to 1963. After David Rogers

Notice biographique
David Rogers was born in Llanstephen, Caermarthenshire, Wales in 1831. In 1839, his parents, Jonah Rogers and Anna Thomas, brought their family to settle at Central Bedeque, Prince Edward Island (after a brief stop in Nova Scotia) near where the Trans Canada Highway now crosses the Dunk River. Jonah Rogers was a whitesmith and farmer.
In 1854, David Rogers bought a farm in Freetown. In 1867, he began leasing the Dunk River Mills in South Freetown from the widow of George Miller Wright. Rogers bought the mills and the 125 acre farm in 1870. The Rogers home on the property was known as Kentleth Lodge and the mills included shingle, saw, grist, and woolen mills. Rogers had two men working in the mills full time, plus extra help in the busy season. Women were hired to work in the carding mill. A blacksmith shop also operated on the site. In 1906 David Rogers sold the mill and six acres to Albert Oakes. Later the grist mill building became a hydro plant. Austin Scales later operated the Scales Hydro Electric Company here from 1929 to 1963. After David Rogers
Historique de la conservation
Portée et contenu
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.
