GENERAL NOTES
Initially listed as a blacksmith, then as a miller.
I remember him as the miller at a mill owned by McClelland's about 400 metres from his home.
The machinery was driven from a water wheel.
The cottages where he lived were known as the 'Red Row'.
They have now been replaced by two bungalows.
