Edmund Ring of Vergennes was in

came into this part of Michigan IN an

outlet of Murray Lake near Alton and
sawed lot of lumber in the early days
from the best pine that grew in those
parts. 1t was one of those old fashion
ed mills with the upright saw which
people used TO talk about as "going up
one day and down the next" but Mr..
Ring says he managed it in pretty
good shape and sawed as high as five
or six thousand feet of lumber in day.
There are many of the old dwelling
houses in Otisco, Vergennes and
Lowell townships that were built from
the lumber sawed by Mr.. Ring.
