Cohay logging camp

Classification: Query
I am currently researching the history of Eastman, Gardiner & Co., one of the largest lumber companies in the state, and hope to finish up a book on the company soon. Their main logging camp was located at Cohay (in three locations) from 1915 until the mid-1930's. I am having no luck finding anybody that is still living that may have lived in the camp to interview. I have some great sources of info, such as the thesis on the Cohay camps by David Higgs, newspapers, census records, WWI draft cards, some company records, etc., but I still have many questions about operations and the layout of the camps. I am also looking for anyone with photos of the camps, sawmills, logging operations, and logging railroads. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
