operation as early as 1826. Shortly after the Quigleys acquired the mill, Joe was killed in the sawmill, which was the part of the mill he operated. Today the pond that this mill was located on is called "Quigley's Pond." Albert Quigley had a mill in Selkirk on the Naufrage River . This mill was taken over by brothers Raymond and Eugene Larkin in 1938. Eugene's son Danny Larkin recalled, "It was a sawmill run by water, had a shingle operation, and was a booming operation at one time." (67) It shut down around 1953, but the legacy of this mill lives on in the area. The "," and "Larkin's Pond," a one-time popular fishing spot, are both named after this mill. In Selkirk there was also a steam mill owned by MacAdams, which was located 100 yards west of their store. Water was pumped from the West River to provide steam for this steam- powered sawmill. This mill operated previous to 1925-1930, but the date when it started is uncertain. It had been estimated that Mill's is named after William Dingwell who had saw and grist mills there as early 1838. William, listed in the Census of 1798 was a son of James Dingwell who came from Dumfries, Scotland , with his five sons. (68) Joseph Dingwell had mills therein 1864. MACDOUGALL 'S SAW MILL MacDougall 's Mill, as it is known to many within the area, was built by Albert Quigley in 1939. Henry MacDougall bought the mill in partnership with his father in 1946, and they ran it together for one year. The following year he bought his father's share of the mill. Fresh out of the army, at the young age of twenty-six, Henry had not prior knowledge or experience of sawmills. He quickly learned the trade, however, and ran the sawmill for almost thirty years: J didn't know anything about running a sawmill, but we just went in and went to work. We employed about three men. We had a rotary saw and planers, bought lumber and logs, and we sawed custom work. When I first started buying logs they were eleven dollars a cord. Now they're over a hundred. We sold slabs all over the country and when we started, we sold slabs for about twelve or thirteen dollars a truckload. (69) Henry's son Peter MacDougall ran this mill for a few years before the mill closed down in 1990s. 133
