On September 4, 1885 James Simmons and George Morton were hauling a load of dynamite from Tweed to Burleigh Falls with a horse drawn steel rimmed wagon. The dynamite was to be used for opening the Trent-Severn Lock at Burleigh Falls. At approximately 9.45 AM residents in Lakefield and as far away as Young's Point and Madoc were alarmed by a large dynamite explosion on the Douro-Otonabee Township line, which is the current Hwy 28. Messer's Morton and Simmons were never seen again. Ten-foot deep craters were found at the site of the explosion and pieces of wood and steel were found 100 to 200 yards away.
