| Historicial Development: | The owners' name is illegible on the census manuscript but could be Sumner. This sawmill operated fulltime during the Census reporting period in 1879 and 1880, employing twenty to twenty-eight workers, eight of whom were children ten years old or under. The owners of the mill paid from $1.00 to $2.35 per day in wages to twenty-eight employees for eleven-hour shifts. The workers received $7,500 total in wages. Logging was done close to the mill and product was shipped by railroad. From $24,500 worth of sawlogs and supplies, the mill produced five million board feet worth a gross value of $45,000. |
