| There were few true cabinetmakers in Upper Canada before the 1820s, but with the expanding population of the province came wealth, and in many of the homes of
the larger settlements, a greater refinement of taste. As a result, cabinet shops became established in many centers, and while the craftsmen continued to make a wide variety of things, from window
sashes to cradles and spinning wheels, they also made to order many finely finished pieces of dining room, drawing room and bedroom furniture. On a more serious note, the cabinetmakers also made
coffins, and in years when there was an epidemic, were kept very busy. Like the blacksmith and shoemaker, the cabinetmaker provided an essential service to the Village. |

Amable acquired the skills to become a good cabinet maker and passed those skills on to his sons. Cabinet and furniture making would eventually play an important role in the lives of future
Lamprons.
The Eighteenth Century brought about the beginning of the technological development known as the Industrial
Revolution. This revolution became more powerful through the years with new inventions being created and used. The impact of these inventions have had long lasting effects on society.
Today, we enjoy automobiles, television, and computers because of the Industrial Revolution.

The Cotton Mill
With the turn of the century, the 1800's paved the way for opportunity and growth. The steam engine was invented and cotton was being spun into thread with the help of Eli Whitney's
cotton gin. The Industrial Revolution was in full swing and it's spread throughout the Americas promised opportunity outside of
Canada.
The Industrial Revolution changed America from an agricultural to an industrial nation. |
By 1840 more than one thousand textile mills were making cloth in New England. For many Canadians who were tired of farming, or struggling to make a living, America became a vision of hope.
Amable Lampron passed away after 1840. We do not have a record of his death.
