 Sporadic privately operated ferry services between Adolphustown and Stone Mills ( Glenora ) were initially a primitive affair . In October 1835 a Mr. Clark from Cobourg tipped out of the bark canoe ferrying him to Glenora and was buried without an inquest ; a year earlier , a Rev. Mathew Miller from Cobourg had drowned after falling through the February ice . The road itself was no better , barely adequate for horse and rider but unfit to run stagecoach lines .
