My Affleck cousin asked some of us “cousins” to come to Logan and learn some of the things he had learned about our relative Peter Affleck {1834-1904}. Peter is my great great grandfather. There were five of us in the group. We went to the south part of Logan to a street near 2nd South east of Main called Water Street. We’ve learned that in the late 1800’s, water had been diverted from the Logan River into a canal system. Since there was no electricity in Logan at the time, the water powered machines of various kinds. Peter had two iron foundries on Water Street and a brewery and someone else had a flour mill. It was astonishing that half a mile from where I grew up that all this existed !!
