LAWSON'S FLOURING MILLS Among the minor industries of this region are the flouring mills of Mr. Walter Lawson - one situated at Georgetown, the other at Stewart Town. The Georgetown mill is one of the ancient landmarks of the village, and is devoted exclusively to custom work. The mill at Stewart Town, which was one of the first mills erected on the west branch of the River Credit, is a merchant mill, with five double pairs of rolls and other necessary machinery for the production of 60 barrels of flour daily, all of which finds a ready market hereabout. Mr. Lawson is a native of the township of Esquesing, where he was born in 1867, and has followed milling since boyhood. -Toronto Daily Mail, 1893 Esquesing Historical Society Newsletter 4
