Bud and Mae Shaw. 7, March 1989

Bud and Mae have always heard talk that there was a sawmill on Dutchman Lake.

When Bud and Mae’s house that Dave Shaw lives in was built it was built with supplies left from the mill. Lumber six or eight inches square were piled up and the on each side 1 inch board was nailed and that was a house. The walls are solid wood. Herm Nelson had told Bud this years ago.

The place was called Bruggink’s in Mae’s Day.

Ruth Carlson married a Johnson late in life. She lived where Charley Briggs did later. She was not married long and he died. She died in the 1950’s or 1960’s. She went to the outhouse and got disoriented and froze to death.
