More About Alma (Albert Co.) by J.S.D. - Nathaniel LOCK was a native of Portland, Maine. He married a Miss Charlotte STEVENS. They moved from the farm owned by late John SMITH, Harvey to Salmon River and put up a one storey wooden framed house, the first that was ever built at that harbor. The writer of this helped to raise it. While the workmen were shingling the roof, I was installed head general in chief of the cooking dept. The house stood some fifty feet in front of the house lately owned by Isaac PULSIFER. Lock and Foster built a saw mill a few hundred feet nearly in front of the house on the brook. I helped raise the broad side of it. They built a flume 100 feet long, the late John REED of New Horton put in the running gear. De Webber FOSTER, James FOSTER and Joel FOSTER, brothers, were from Machias, Maine. Joel built a saw mill east of the river nigh the shore one mile distant. About one mile south west was Cannon town, taking its name from Otis CANNON of New Horton, who built a log cabin, a saw mill and cattle shed being all the buildings in that vicinity. There was no grist mill nigher New Horton, for there was no grain raised until I left the place. James STEVENS and family were the only ones living at Herring Cove. James KINNEY was from Horton, N.S.
