Samuel Hastings was one of the first settlers in Mendota in 1853. His account is very educational. Hope you like the video. Sorry it abruptly cuts off at the end.
Let me also add that this story was discovered at a Christmas Party at the Hume Carnegie Museum two years ago, thanks to Tanner and Trenton Dominy looking through photo albums and research info. i knew it was important cause it finally answered the bi question, who was here first? The ICRR or the C&A? It answered many other questions. The actual newspaper reveals so, so much more with names of all the first settlers and what they did, etc. THANK YOU SAMUEL HASTINGS FOR WRITING THIS FOR THE SUN BULLETIN NEWSPAPER!
