Archie Guthrie’s Notes on Lanark Mines Hall’s Mills and Cheese 1993

Standard
Archie Guthrie’s Notes on Lanark Mines Hall’s Mills and Cheese 1993

Lorrie McCann and Dawn Jones were discussing the Tatlock Quarry on the  Lanark County Genealogical Society Facebook page in 2016. I will tell you I searched and searched for hours and could not find much. All I know is that work has carried on in the Tatlock Mines since 1900. Dawn mentioned Archie Guthrie– and so sad to say all I found is his obituary.

Update October 18, 2018- Found the notes in one of the school books that belonged to Doris Blackburn/ Karen Blackburn Chenier

First mine mentioned was Clyde Forks Mine

Camille Wickwire—In Tatlock Quarry.

 

Dawn Jones A very interesting read. The cheese factory mentioned at the bottom of the article was known as Barr’s Corner, or Factory Corner or 5 corners. Closest intersection would be Tatlock Road and Darling Road, and Warks Road today.
