I spent most July 2, 1998, at the library researching the history
of my community. On page 27 of Discovering New Brunswick by
Mark Freeman, I found information about the first settlers. This
excellent book was published in 1979 in Sackville, NB by Elgin
Press. Later, I found a magazine article on pages 37-41 of “Atlantic
Progress” by Emily Stormont, entitled “Living with the New
Economy”. I knew that the information on the mining industry
was reliable because it came from the February 1998 issue of a
magazine published locally. I also interviewed John Michaels, a
local business man who knows lots about local businesses and the
families which founded them.
