Image Info 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. In 1908, Colby made improvements to his mill putting in a 30-horse power engine. This photo was taken after the new equipment was installed.
