On Saturday of last week the Clarke Museum and Archives unveiled a mill stone at the Kirby School House Museum which had operated at a mill in Orono along the Orono Creek for a period from 1837 to 1845. Mark Jackman pointed out that the stone had been found by the late Bob Hancock in 1975 and prior to the dedication had rests at the Clarke Library. He said it was a symbol of the ingenuity of the early settlers. The unveiling of the stone was undertaken by Sam Cureatz, M.P.P. Durham East with the assistance of (left to right) Mark Jackman, Councillor Hal McKnight, Councillor Frank Stapleton, president of the Museum, Derek Burnett and Sam's son Collin.
