• Notes

  MUDGE HOLLOW (PROPERLY, CANNING) A Post village of Blenheim Township, on the 2nd Lot, 2nd Concession, and near the South Eastern corner of the County. The Village was first settled in 1812, and one time it bid fair to become quite an important place. The first grist mills in this section of the country at that time were here in operation, and new settlers from a distance of 40 miles, came to "Mudge Hollow," to mill. The name was changed to that of "Canning" about 1842, and a post office under that name was established in 1850. Mr. Alchin in 1850 became the proprietor and principal real estate owner in the Village. It now contains a United Brethren Church, built at a cost of $450, and seated for 200 persons; a good Common School, with an average attendance of 60 pupils; a large tannery, woolen factory, flouring mill, saw mill, wagon and blacksmith shop, one store and a tavern.
