According to Chester Pratt , 'The Company was financed by the sale of shares to all milk producing farmers at $5 per share." (57) In 1903, there were fifty-two cheese and butter factories on the Island and the St. Peters Factory was twelfth in its number of patrons, which totaled 108. (58) In the later years of the factory, a butter factory was attached to the cheese factory. The cheese makers included John Smith and Abe Donnelly, who usually had two to three people working with them. The Cheese Factory was originally located within the village and was listed in 1903 as at "the head of St. Peters Bay ." After the factory shut down, sometime between 191 IT920, it was moved to its present location across from the St. Peters Bay Catholic Church. In later years the factory was refurbished and is now referred to as the Holy Name Hall. MILLS Many of the old roads led to mills. At one time, mills were the only source of energy that people had beside oxen and manpower. JoDee Samuelson of Canoe Cove , who created a map of "Old Mills of Prince Edward Island ," states that "when a community finally got started, it was usually because a mill had finally been built in the vicinity." (59) In the second half of the 1800s, all types of mills sprang up. In 1871, there were more than five hundred carding, grist, saw, fulling, dressing, and shingle mills. (60) James Pollard in his Sketches of Prince Edward Island , published in 1898, claims that the first mills on the Island were established in the St. Peters area: The first grist-mill, now so universal, was erected by one Colonel Settleworth - so tradition informs us - on the south bank of St. Peters Bay in King's County. This mill was worked by means of sails during favorable gales of wind. A grist-mill, by water power, was put up by Charles World * also at St. Peters , and another known as Dingwell 's Mill was built at Bay Fortune . As to the date of the erection of either of the above, our old-time Historian gives no authentic account, but the former appears to have been the first mill that was erected on the Island. (61) LESLIE 'S MILL The earliest record for a mill for the St. Peters area was a mill in Cable Head West . According to Colin MacDonald , Charlie Sanderson , John MacKenzie , and John Duke , who are listed in the 1798 Census, operated a mill for the Duke of Cambridge in 1805. This mill, which was * " Charles World ," is probably " Charles Worrell " and was simply misspelled. In a book written around this same time, J. MacGregor refers to a Messrs., C & E Worrell who had a "very superior" gristmill located on the "lands fronting the Bay." 130
