inter esting sidelight reveals that the grain ground for canadian troops was smuggled in from the state of mew york much to the chagrin of the 1js authorities james farr purchased the mill in 1815 and enlarged the grist mill using five run of stones in it thcvihage of farrs mills suffered from a series of flood disasters in 1874 1850 and 1878 but it contin ued to flourish and it was james farr who named the village wes ton in the mid 1800s after his birthplace in england in 1827 farr sold the mill to two brothers charles and william wadsworth and further expansion took place as the deirfind for flour increased the mill had a capacity of 150 barrels a day and ran day and night eventually the mills were electrified in the early 1900s in making the presentation of the marker mrs hague pointed
