LAST CREW AT WEIDMAN SAWMILL--Bertha Gross loans us this remarkable photo of John S. Weidman’s last crew to work at hissawmill and shingle mill in Weidman, probably between 1903 and 1905. The mill was operated by steam engines fed by wastewood from the saws. The wheeled carts showing on the tramway were two-wheeled vehicles, operated by two men each, tohaul the cut lumber from the mill over the tramway and out where it could be piled. The tramway was about 10 feet high, andextended across Woodruff Road, coming out about where Alton Allen’s house now stands. Workmen trundled carts of lumber alongthe tram, unloading it all along the way, and the tram went to the railroad spur track turn-off. The old spur track once went tothe mill itself.

BERTHA GROSS IDENTIFIED SOME OF THE MEN in the picture. Maybe our readers can identify more. Here are her identifications,counting from the first man; Ed Shurlow, Bertha’s father, with his horses, in light-colored clothes, first from left; fourth from left,Emmett Donaly; sixth, Mr. Decker, father of Florence Decker; eighth, Fred Robinson, with horses; tenth (standing), Tom Hauck;12th, Robert Weidman; 13th, John S. Weidman; 14th, Will Johnson; 18th, Ott Robinson; 19th, Mike Hobler. Seated, left to right:third, Wilbur Johnson; ninth, Dan Carpenter; 10th, Tom Annis. The horses were used on dump trucks, to haul wood slabs and woodwaste back to the wood-fed steam boilers to run the mill.

WE PUT A MAGNIFYING GLASS on this picture, and still couldn’t see faces clearly, so we haven’t ‘blown up” the picture. Manyold-timers, we hope, will recognize more of the men, and many will remember those old days of the origin of the Village ofWeidman. Bertha Gross also has a photo of John S. Weidman’s shingle mill, which we shall hope to print some time soon.

Editor’sColumnGOOD FISH INTHE WEDMAN MILL POND

Those crazy Weidman Skinnershave been catching some mostinteresting fisis in the WeidmanPond, during its lowering processin preparation for cleanup.

Speaking as one of those crazySkinners, I’ll say, Yes, it’s goodand cold down there most evenings (George and I go about every night after supper). But--wehave caught some very good fish.

Among the variety we’ve gotwas a 10 1/2 inch black bass, acouple of good-sized bullheads,a few giant bluegills and many,many bluegil]s of the whoppersize; and pike have been hittingworms on bluegill hooks, to ourembarrassment.

One evening last week I had apike on a bluegill hook-andworm, and the dun thing ran allaround the boat--with me at firstand then George trying to holdhim on a six-pound-test bluegillline on a cane pole. Geergethought he could wear him out,letting him run, hut the big fish,which George said he figuredweighed about five pounds, finally dove to bottoni and snaggedthe line on a submerged stump.We got my line back, with thehook broken or bitten off.

We’ve caught some whopperrock bass there, too. Cars stopand their occupants sit and stareat those lunatics out there in aboat not far from shore, windwhipping their lines and sendingshivers through the hardiest.

But--there are some wonderfulfish in that Pond. You have togo where they are, have yourline at the right depth, and handle ‘em correctly to land ‘em.

George and Connie Skinnerlike to run down to the Pond anhour or so, after supper, and wecone home refreshed, no matter what the weather or our fishing luck. We will say this: Wehaven’t been “skunked” this fallon the Weidman Pond, and wehave had a lot of fun.

The fish are of good taste, too.We have known times, even inwinter ice fishing, when weweaidn’t eat bluegil]s from thePond. We thought they tastedweedy. But not now. At thistime, anyhow, they’re wonderful eating, besides being also-wonderful recreation, right athome.

Incidentally, we checked withHoward Rowe of Mt.Pleasant,who is still game warden for thisarea, on word we’d heard thatfishing restrictions were off atthe Weidman Pond, due to thedraining of the Pond.

“All laws and restrictions remain in force,” Mr. Rowe said.“There are size limits on gamefish, and numbers limits onbluegihls. They are still in effect on the Weidnnn Pond.”
