One adventurous waggonmaker, from the County of York, happening to be in the region, made a rush with the rest to the diggings, and soon departed homeward, several days journey through woods and bushroads, with a backbreaking load in a bag... He got home, and before he slept kindled up his forge fire to melt down a little of the precious stuff.... The sulphurious fumes and horrible stench of the vile stuff choked him, and well nigh drove him out of the premises. He had carried home a backload of worthless iron pyrites!"{{Cite book | last = Smith | first = William Wye | title = Gazetteer and Directory of the County of Grey for 1865-66 | publisher = Global Steam Press | year = 1866 | location = Toronto | url = http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~danddunne/Dand/maps/gazetteer.htm}} 4. ^Statistics Canada: 1996, 2001, 2006 census Resources
