"The books and letters of William Hinchey of Enterprise who died in 1936, turn back the pages of Lennox-Addington history to present an intimate picture of the prospects here for the immigrants who arrived in the early 1800's from Ireland and England to make a new home for themselves in the new land." (Treasure of Information on Early Pioneer Living, Margaret Wakelin, June 28th, 1960.)
