Summary edit
DescriptionMassanoga Mill - Sawyer-Stoll.jpg |
English: The largest lumber mill in the Mazinaw region was the Sawyer-Stoll Lumber Company. In 1938, this Michigan-based firm acquired the timber harvest rights to a large portion of Effingham township (now part of Addington Highlands Township in the County of Lennox & Addington). Wallace Johnston was appointed General Manager and had the task of establishing operations in the region.
On the shore of Stoll Lake (above) just north of Mazinaw Lake and west of current Highway #41, the firm built an extensive mill and village complete with company office, store, three bunk houses, staff houses and 12 cabins for mill hands and their families. There was also a recreational hall where staff enjoyed games of pool, movies and dances. At the height of its operations the firm employed 200 workers who were paid $8-10 dollars per day. In 1942 the company added a school. The site was named Massanoga - name formerly used for Mazinaw Lake. The milling operations consisted of the sawmill, a boiler room, blacksmith's shop, barns and a planing mill. The photo above shows the jackladder which lifted the logs from Stoll Lake to the sawmill. Unknown date of these photographs. Much of the above information is from: 'The Mazinaw Experience: Bon Echo and Beyond' by John Campbell. |
