Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/5cB.2ACI/620.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Hi Sue: Here's another way to describe the edger: The Edger's primary function is to produce boards with parallel sides and to remove the wane or rounded bark edges from the boards as they come from the head saw. The rolls I mentioned earlier are just that-long round cylanders which "roll" when the lumber is placed on them and are used to move the boards forward. I have watched my husband build these hundreds of times-and depending on the size of the mill they can be anywhere from 5 feet long to 100 feet long. Of course the changes that have been made in the industry are the automation of equipment and the quality of the saws used. If you are in Oregon-there are a number of different museums that have displays and information about the logging industry. The High Desert Museum in Bend is an excellent place to see what an "Old Time" sawmill was like. Also-on the Oregon coast there are several other places that have miniature or replica sawmills which will show you what the mill functions are. Our favorite one is in British Columbia on Victoria Island-they had not changed anything since the 1920's when the mill shut down. The end of the Oregon Trail Museum at Oregon City used to have a lot of information on the logging industry also, but I haven't been there in several years. The best thing to do would be to explore so that you can get a sense of what it entails and then write your description from there. I will let you know if I get any further information. Laura

I know the pony sawyer is a skilled position, but I do not know how to write it for my children and grand children to understand. Would you also ask if the pony sawyers's job has changed much in the past 75 years and if it has, what types of changes exist. Thanks! Sue

He places the boards on the edger and pushes the boards onto the rolls which force the board between the saws which produce a straight edge. Hope this makes sense to you!!! If not-when my husband comes home I'll ask him to put it into laymans terms! Laura

I am satisfied that Barbary Davidson who was residing with Baker family in Cedar Creek in the 1880 census was the widow of William H. Davidson. Isaac Davidson in the same census is another story. Your reply to my query was very helpful so, at this belated date, I thank you.

You could post on the Multnomah board for a city directory look up for the years following 1930. A lot of times the Portland City Directory will cover the metropolitan area and if he was a business owner they may have some information on him. If not, let me know and I'll ask a friend of mine in Portland if he can come up with anything. Good Luck! Laura

That was very kind of you. Your research skills are wonderful. With what you gave me, I can certainly start building William's history. He left his mother (a widow) in LeSueur, Minnesota not long after they came to the States in 1888. Why Oregon, I have no idea???? His mother, as well as, his one sister, died much earlier than he did, so what people knew of him was very little, to say the least. His death certificate is incorrect on most accounts, including his proper name. So again, Laura, thank you for helping to straighten out this man's history. It will truly add to our genealogy. Cindi

Hi Shelley and all. We have plans on the Washington County GenWeb site to continue adding transcriptions as fast as we can, but also photos of tombstones from all sources. Anyone have cemetery photos to share, we will put them up. Congratulations to Shelley and all volunteers who have spent hundreds of hours transcribing current information from the local cemeteries.
