Spencerville Grist Mill
By 1811 Peleg Spencer had built a wooden dam on the South Nation River and constructed a sawmill on the south bank to serve the settlers in the backwoods of Edwardsburgh Township.
When Peleg’s son David acquired the business in 1822 it included a saw and gristmill. In 1850 David built a carding and fulling mill on the north side of the river. Nine years later a disastrous fire completely destroyed the mill. In 1862, he sold the property to his daughter Mercy and her husband Robert Fairbairn.
