Notes |
- From The Borderer - September 15, 1865:
"A salt mine has recently been opened near Springhill by Mr. James Hickman of Amherst and others, which promises to yield abundantly. We can show a sample of the article to any who wish - it is very fine grained suitable for domestic purposes. Ina few days they can supply about 25 bushels per day, at 25 cents per bushel, delivered at the mine."
Marlene Hickman notes:
"I also visited the Amherst Cemetery on Church Street and found some of the family tombstones:
Amherst Cemetery, Church Street Amherst
Stone #4
(This stone is typical grey granite, rectangular in shape - perhaps erected in more recent years?) Three sides are engraved:
"In loving memory of James S Hickman
