| Blacksmith |
- "The blacksmith shop in Fallbrook was built by William Lees in 1865 and ? Hunter was the first blacksmith. He made axes and did general work but he couldn't make a go of it and Bob Clarke took over. He was a left handed blacksmith; Ive never seen a left-handed blacksmith working but he'd have to turn the anvil the other way - the horn to the right and work on it that way. Well, after a while John Buffam took over but he'd quit before Dad came. Father (James Cameron) took over in 1888 and boarded up at Uncle Watty's hotel on the hill.
