Hi, I was wondering if any of you has information on a shingle mill in Keppel county in the 1870's. One source mentioned that a Mr. Parsons and Henry Wrigley were the first or one of the first to own it. This was apparently in the history book "Beautiful Stoney Keppel" The Grey County Archives did not have any additional information on the shingle mill. I would appreciate any information. Thanks! Leanne

Hi Leanne, From Beautiful Stoney Keppel: Page 11: "The first shingle mill in North Keppel was owned by Wrigley (Harry) and Parson and was located on the west side of the creek. The first grist mill was owned and operated by John and Richard Cornish in the early 1860's. James Denoon is listed as a miller in 1871 census." Page 27: Percy Parsons - "Dogs were struck off the (assessment) roll." 1936 Page 70: Gordon Parsons is a student Jr.IV at S.S. #1 Keppel in 1925. For Henry Wrigley and his wife Annabelle Cameron, there is a listing of their children and grandchildren. Please let me know if you need this. There may be other references to the shingle mill but, as the book is not well indexed, this is the only information that is readily available. Hope this helps.
