They Wanted |J Light On The % Suhject...And They Got It! It was people with inquisitiveness and a sense of experiment in the early, struggling days of H?m ; !ton that brought the first lighting to homes and factories. In a little cottage on Main Street, a family that had been engaged in the work in England, produced the first sulphur match in 1830. Then the first use of natural gas as an illuminant in Canada was in the Old Mill at Mount Albion, on the eastern part of the mountain. The Young brothers of Hamilton took a role in it, loo, by following up with the use of petroleum in the shape of a burner for the family lamp — something quite new for Canadians. Famous in this line was Charles Willson, a chemist of York Street, who discov- ered acetylene gas — one of the more remarkable individual achievements in the growing town. Willson had a small room over a blacksmith shop and liked to try his talent in experiments.
