The original name was The Morgan Falls Pulp and Paper Co.  It was first managed by Mr. Joseph Hughes.  It was sold some time later to The Acadia Pulp & Paper Co.  It was managed by Mr. Joseph Feindel until 1904 when F. & A. F. Davidson bought the mill and changed the name to The LaHave Pulp Company Limited.  The mill was later sold to The New Haven Pulp & Board Co. of New Haven, Conn.

June 1958

A pulp mill was erected in June, 1893, by the Morgan Falls Pulp Co., composed of Hon. A. G. Jones and Sons, and Joseph S. Hughes, Esq., the latter being manager.  Twenty tons of pulp were manufactured per day, using up fourteen cords of wood in the operation.

Stories from the Mill

Glen Veinot tells that his father, Bruce Veinot, worked at the mill from 1942-1956.  He said that the comradeship of the men who worked there was very high and everyone respected Captain Parnell, the manager, very much.  The corp. company who ran it refused to invest in modern machinery when they should have.  Bruce’s father was a foreman there.  His name was Eleazer Veinot.  He sold his shares in a shingle mill he co-owned in Newburne ( Indian Falls) and moved to New Germany in 1901 to work in this mill.  It closed in 1956, because it only made the pulp, not the paper, and used a water wheel for power.  It was a sad day for New Germany as it was one of the greatest factors in New Germany growing to what it was.
