     Grist and Saw Mills 
     
    
   
   
    
     The first grist mill owned by John Morrow was located east 
     
     of Russel Dingwell‘s in 1825. People from South Lake, North 
     
     River and Kingsboro brought grain to this mill, first travelling 
     
     by canoe, then they carried it on their shoulders. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Another grist mill was set up by a Mr. Anderson, by a 
     
     stream north of the main road, near North Lake School. The 
     
    
   
   
    
     original machinery from this mill was later sold and set up at 
     
     Frank Warren's, Black Pond. 
     
    
   
   
    
     A third one was owned and operated by Peter Rose on the Mill 
     
     Creek. It was destroyed later by fire on November 25, 1862. A 
     
     mill was built later on this site with Starbird Rose sawing 
     
     lumber, and his brother, Stephen, with the grain division. A 
     
    
   
   
    
     great grand—son of Peter Rose, Lyman Baker, operates a saw mill 
     
     here at the present time. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Tradesmen James and Daniel MacDonald were skilled masons. 
     
     Their skill on flues and basements may still be seen on some of 
     
     the old houses. 
     
    
   
   
    
     A chimney, worthy of note, is to be found in the home of 
     
     Mrs. Annie MacInnis and her sons, Lakeville, which was built by 
     
     the grand-father of her husband, Marshall MacInnis. He lived to 
     
     be 105 years old. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Paddy MacInnis, North Lake, kept boarders, rented boats for 
     
    
   
   
    
     use on the lake, owned a small, productive store and a blacksmith 
     
     forge with three fire places. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Lauchlan MacDonald also operated a forge where the harbour 
     
     road meets the main highway at Lakeville. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The Lakeville school was first located near the main highway 
     
     on the John Archie MacInnis property. The new one built in 1959 
     
     is on the opposite side of the Lakeville bridge and across from 
     
     the harbour road. The "John Archie" property is now Robert Baker's. 
     
    
   
   
    
     North Lake School 
     
    
   
   
    
     There were 3 schools here. The first one was afterwards 
     
     used as a salt house at Fraser's store until two years ago. It 
     
     is not known now who the builder was. The second one was built 
     
     by Sewell Robertson, Kingsboro, and is now used as a trap house. 
     
     The present one was erected in 1957 by Henry MacLaughlin. 
     
    
   
   
    
     There is an old Indian Cemetery opposite North Lake School. 
     
     The French burial ground was on Alfred Morrow‘s property east of 
     
    
   
   
    
     the old run. The Harold Hunter Family and Mrs. Percy Mutch now 
     
     reside on the Morrow property.
