Vale Perkins Brook, in Vale Perkins, empties into Lake Memphremagog at Perkins Landing, and has headwaters to the west of Sugar Loaf Mountain.  At one time, there were at least two mills located on the brook, one of these built by Samuel Perkins: “ About 1840, my grandfather built a sawmill on the brook (then a small river) which empties into the lake at the Landing.  Some 25 years later, the late Capt. George W. Fogg built a mill further up the brook, also built a small landing for the Mountain Maid.  When the Lady of the Lake began running, a larger wharf was made and maintained by the people in this locality until the Canadian government built and have since kept in repair the present wharf. »^[1]  Those may have been the vestiges still present in the brook that I remember when I was a child.  Nothing now remains of either mill.
