#22: Just to the left of center in this photo is the water-powered Shingle Mill built in the early 1900's during logging's heyday in the area. The Shingle Mill owners, Franz Anderson & John Youngblood, later gathered discarded saws from logging camps & started a can opener factory powered by the same equipment. Even later, they also manufactured either knives or scissors. The factories were closed in 1910 & the machinery sold to Thomas J. Lewis of Crosby.
