Summary

Oat processing, mills and local tradesmen.

The contributor can remember when the meal-mill was in operation. The corn was first threshed with a flail. The oats were then cleaned using a variety of implements. Afterwards the oats were taken to the mill which was water-powered. The MacIsaacs were the local millers. The contributor's grandfather was the tailor. There was a shoemaker and weaver also.
