- 1823: Freeman Haskell: bought canal, grist and saw mills and built linseed oil mill
Forests and clearings (original publishing July 15, 1874)
- Freeman Haskell:
- In 1823, Freeman Haskell purchased from the Kilborns the entire water power of the canal, with the saw mill, grist mill and clothier’s works, and built a linseed-oil mill. He began with good prospects, but was unfortunately killed by falling against the saw in his mill. His arm was cut entirely off, and survived the accident but a few days. His brother, Sylvanus C. Haskell, succeeded him in the business, but soon after sold out and left the country. (p. 33)

- In 1830, there were only five buildings on the Island which is enclosed by the river and the canal. There were the "Old Yellow," the Foster and Spaulding store, (now Pike Brothers), the carding machine building (now Goodhue's factory), a dwelling house and clothier's shop combined, back of Spaulding's store near that house and oil mill.
