Boothby Family Lore

Recently Jim Boothby visited the museum on one of our sawing dates, and he left us a gem of a note:

Family Lore,
    The sawmill (it was north of the building at Hauntown) was purchased by the Struves from Bert Boothby in 1922. It was located in the Green Island bottoms and hauled to Hauntown by the Struves. My granddad Bert and father told me this. I believe grandpa told me that with the top saw, it would cut a 54'' diameter log.
