  • 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:
