One of the early settlers in Berlin was Robert Austin who, in 1774, yoked his oxen, put them to his cart, and loaded on his few household belongings in Rhode Island and headed to the "far west" to seek his fortune. His sister, Amanda, made the 21-day journey with him. They made their way up the steep and rocky mountainside, over the peak, passed Kendall Pond and found a level plot of ground and here there ended their journey. This was in the area of Yerton's old sawmill and across the road from Sally Smith's home.
