Crapaud Mills

I was going through Island community histories online on Island Lives website ( http://137.149.200.109:8080/fedora/get/ilives:195234v3/PDF ) and came across this information on Crapaud mills from the book

The History of Crapaud

Vol. 3

1957-1991

by The Crapaud Women's Institute

Crapaud Millstream Seniors

Here's a photo I took of Howatt's Mill not long before it was burned on Halloween night 1990.

HERITAGE PRAYER

We keep forgetting all of those who lived before us.

We keep forgetting those who lived and worked in our communities.
We keep forgetting those who prayed and sang hymns in our churches before we were born.
We keep forgetting what our fathers have done for us.
We commit the sin, Lord, of assuming that everything begins with us.

We drink from wells we did not find.
We eat food from farmland we did not develop.
We enjoy freedoms which we have not earned.
We worship in churches which we did not build.
We live in communities we did not establish.
This day, make us grateful for our heritage.

Amen
