These pictures were taken about 12 miles north of Milaca Minnesota on my fathers friend's property, Ole.
Here is a saw my father used back in the forty's. He called this his power saw. He fell trees with it and cut them into fire wood also. If they had chainsaws back then he did not have one. This is the only saw he had. I am thinking the pictures were taken back in 44 or 45. The small child in the one picture is my older sister, she appears to be two or three in the picture. She is four years older than myself. The first picture is my dads friend Ole running the saw.
The second picture is my father running the saw. Why Ole is pushing something into the saw I do not know. Unless he is helping feed the blade into the wood.
My sister Judy and Ole and my father on the saw
The blade is turned horizonally to cut off the stumps.
My father has the machine proped up stationary so he can cut fire wood. My mother is usually throwing blocks but I would bet she is taking the pictures.
