Excerpt from pages 253 and 254 "Lumbermen on the Chippewa" by Malcolm Roshol
After 1914, Lowrie Lowe was mill superintendent and Herman J. Johnson was manager of the West Lumber Company. [We believe that the Manager was actually Herman W. Jahannes, not Herman J. Johnson]
In the 1920s Roy Bodenburg was head sawyer on the night shift.
