Dec 07, 2005 (C Papertzian) - A clay sample (# 706) taken from a small deposit with a thickness of 15 ft above the river level. This clay works well in a raw state and has a fairly low drying shrinkage. It burns to a good red sound body and will make field drain tile as well as brick. It is not necessary to add sand in tile making. This is the best of the clays examined in Edwardsburgh township (1922).
