Harvesting Timber on the Baumhart Farm – May 1938

When I think about lumberjacks, the image of Paul Bunyan lumbering about the North Woods (and laying waste to it) immediately comes to mind. I certainly don't think of the Baumhart farm on its namesake road as a place for Paul and his crew to create a lot of stumps.

But that's exactly where the story below takes place. The article about about the logging operations of a South Amherst timber firm called Parker and Bechstein appeared in the Lorain Journal on May 20, 1938. It's an interesting, behind-the-scenes look at how the firm does a great business cutting its hickory and oak right in Lorain County – on the Baumhart farm.
