    ---------------------------
    "It was in the year 1833 Mr. Robert Culbertson erected, on the right bank of the river, the great oatmeal mill which threw everything that preceded it into the shade, and is still at work, though on a greatly reduced scale. Later he put up, on the left bank of the river, the famous flour mill which, though now wholly idle, supplied for several years after its erection all the shopkeepers and bakers of the county, as well as many in the counties of Mayo, Roscommon, and Leitrim. Unfortunately a fearful and fatal explosion occurred here in 1856 which shot away the roof of the structure, destroted vast stores of flour and wheat, injured much of the machinery, maimed several of the workmen, and either killed on the spot, or inflicted a lingering death, on nine others."
    "One of the most deplorable results of the calamity was that the shock of the occurrence ruined the health of Mr. Culbertson; for though he lived for some time after, it was noticed that he was constantly sinking, so that when he died, everyone laid his death on the disastrous explosion. And it is due to the memory of this large-hearted and tender-hearted man to state that those who knew him well, the writer of these lines among the number, were aware that it was not so much his own losses and troubles that preyed upon his mind and ruined his health, as the loss of life or limb, that had befallen so many of his neighbours."
    "The Messrs. Middletown and Pollexfen, who succeeded Mr. Culbertson in Ballysadare, worked these extensive concerns energetically and successfully for many years; and while the great wheels of their mills were at work, the wheel of fortune, as if it were part of the machinery, moved prosperously for Ballysadare and the neighborhood. Owing to the great contraction, almost the stoppage, of the business in recent years, there are scarce half a dozen men employed where there were formerly sometimes five or six score; and as the yards of Mr. Joseph Clarence and Mr. James M'Donogh, the well known builders, are proportionally slack in work, the village of Ballysadare has become deserted, most of its tradesmen and labourers having gone to America or across the Channel."
