June 9, 1949: "Reports reaching North Bend this morning stated that a small sawmill at Swisshome, owned by Arthur F. Russell, Glasgow, who was formerly employed by the Irwin-Lyons Lumber company, was destroyed by fire Wednesday afternoon. Russell started the mill several months ago and was said to be prospering, according to the report. He was not in the bay area today and could not be reached for a statement as to the mill's capacity, or the amount of the loss resulting from the fire." (The World)
