Later on two other grain warehouses were built and for many years Wellington was one of the greatest grain ship- ping points on the lake. Later, af- ter the death of My.

On ac- count of great changes in farming methods, the shipment of grain by | boat has been entirely done away with, hence these old warehouses are found to be useless, and the removal of this one takes away the remem- brances of the manner of doing busi ness in the early days.
