Author: 1975kmb Date: Friday, June 05, 2009 Classification: Query Surnames: Bowers, Kelly, Marsh
A photo was recently sent to me - the photo is of a group of men, women, and children in front of what appears to be a sawmill. There are wooden boxes with the name "Montana Shingle Co" and "Auburn, Wash." painted on the sides with a logo of a bird between 2 stars. Several of the men are holding tools and there is a large round saw blade in the background behind the stacked boxes. Only two people can be identified by the owner of the photo: Emily Bowers Kelly (later married Curtis Marsh) and her first husband Thomas Nicholas Kelly. The Kelly family is known to have lived in Lincoln county and the photo was probably taken in the mid to late 1890's. Any information regarding the Montana Shingle Company or persons in the photo is greatly appreciated!
