Tavern in Laskay

In 1856, David Ressor settled on the west side of Laskay. Industries in this area included a plaster mill, a sawmill, several shops, and a slaughterhouse. David also donated property for a Presbyterian Church and land for the Temperance Division where the Temperance Hall was built (this later became the property of the Laskay Women's Institute). In 1859, Garrett Blough opened an inn, which later became a blacksmith shop operated by Joseph O'Brien.

Over the years, as businesses disappeared from Laskay it turned into a small, quiet hamlet.
