Westport Island History Committee
Charles E. Colby's portable sawmill stood on the shore of his property looking over the Back River, toward Woolwich. Charles (left) and Mr. Pease worked the mill.
Two of the Colby children, Verlie and one of her brothers, watched the operation.
"Pa had a portable mill. …That was taken when the man set it up, and then he put it down to the shore. That's after they got it set up, … they took a picture of it."
