Spencerville History
Spencerville is a small rural community located in Eastern Ontario, about 30 minutes south of Ottawa on Highway 416. It falls within the municipality of Edwardsburgh/Cardinal in Leeds and Grenville United Counties.
Three churches are found in the community: Spencerville United Church, St. Laurence O'Toole Catholic Church, and St. John's Presbyterian Church. There is also an elementary school with students from Grades 4 to 8 called Centennial '67 Public School. The surrounding countryside is mainly agricultural.
Spencerville holds the annual Spencerville Fair and a new Highland Games.
Spencerville, with only one main intersection, has a public library, a Canada Post outlet, a garden store, two restaurants (one of which is a terrific Chinese restaurant, The Jade Palace), two general stores, one gas bar with an LCBO inside, a Home Hardware, a woodstove store, an antiques store, an insurance company and a funeral home
Spencerville also has an arena that hosts junior league hockey tournaments from across Ontario, and also offers public skating. This arena and surrounding buildings was built by the George Drummond family, of Drummond's gas franchises.
Spencerville is also home to the Spencerville Mill, an old grist mill on the South Nation River. A grist mill refers to the process of grinding grain & corn.
By 1811 Peleg Spencer had built a wooden dam on the South Nation River and constructed a sawmill on the south bank to serve the settlers in the backwoods of Edwardsburgh Township.
When Peleg’s son David acquired the business in 1822 it included a saw and gristmill. In 1850 David built a carding and fulling mill on the north side of the river. Nine years later a disastrous fire completely destroyed the mill. In 1862, he sold the property to his daughter Mercy and her husband Robert Fairbairn.
By 1864 Robert Fairbairn had built a stone gristmill on the north side of the river and installed a steam engine to allow the mill to operate year-round.
Robert and Mercy’s son, David Fairbairn, only had possession of the mill for two years before fire again gutted the building in 1884. After the interior was reconstructed, it was sold to Thomas Bennett who had several partners before becoming sole owner. Upon Bennett's death in 1903 Hatch and Barnard rented the property.
One year later J.F. Barnard became sole proprietor. In 1912 J.F. Barnard purchased the mill and adjacent stone house for $4,600. He became the first registered manufacturer of calf feed in Canada producing poultry and livestock feed under their trade name “Grow or Bust.”
In 1927, J.F. Barnard’s sons Percy and Walter became involved, increasing hydraulic power with the installation of a new turbine. They also became wholesalers and distributors of farm merchandise. A hardware store was added in 1955 shortly after Percy’s sons Morgan and Ted became involved. Ted Barnard continued to run the family milling business until it closed in 1972.
The South Nation Conservation purchased the mill in 1985 and transferred ownership to the newly created Eastern Valley Heritage Foundation. In 1999, this Foundation was renamed The Spencerville Mill Foundation.
