My Great Uncle Lew Belle (my namesake) was a saw sharpener in the big mills. That and the Sawyer were the two highest skilled and highest paying jobs in the Mills. My Great Uncle Fred was the Sawyer. He was killed one day when he let the carriage run off the ways on the return and was crushed by the log. Dad visited his Uncles and watched them work. He was fascinated by the "Doggers", two men who rode the carriage back and forth and would work the dogs that held the log in place on the carriage.
