From the Sutherland Family

Land Walnut Log Goes a

Long Way

Logan Sutherland enjoysworking with wood and hehas just completed some arti-cles which held a specialvalue to him since the woodcame from a walnut tree takenfrom the farm in Kentuckywhere his great-great-grand-father Daniel Sutherland set-tled in 1820. The walnut tree was from afamily cemetery about 100yards from a log cabin whichhis great-great-grandfatherbuilt in Logan County, Ken-tucky, near Bowling Green.The cabin is still standing andDaniel Sutherland, his wifeand mother are buried in thecemetery nearby. Last summer, Mr. and Mrs.Sutherland and their son,James F. Sutherland, his wifeand family of Pittsburgh, Pa.,were in Kentucky and re-stored the old family ceme-tery. Over the years trees andbrush had grown up and live-stock had knocked the mark-ers down. A chain link fence was in-stalled, 18 tons of crushedlimestone rock was spreadand the markers all repairedand reset. The property isnow owned by L. P. Shifflett,who gave permission to theSutherlands to restore thefamily plot. In the cemetery was a wal-nut tree probably 60 years oldwhich was killed by lightningsome six or eight years ago.Logan Sutherland broughtsome of the wood home withhim and from this he made asgifts for his son and family aset of table lamps, candlestickholders, book ends, pictureframe, souvenir spoon rackand a what-not-shelf.FIFTY-FIVE YEARS AGO

The beginning of theWindsor plant was made pos-sible by the result of promptaction taken by a group of 22Windsor citizens who raised$65,000 to induce the shoecompany to build a shoe fac-tory in the community. Sev-eral other nearby towns werecompeting for the plant. The plant was dedicatedJanuary 21, 1932. It is be-lieved that the Windsor plantwas the first one-story plantopened by the InternationalShoe Company. The originalbuilding was a small unit for-merly used by the Hamilton-Brown Shoe Company, and ithad also served as a buttonfactory in prior years. An addition was made in1932 of 31,644 sq. ft. at avalue of $66,790. Machineryand equipment was installedand valued at 31,665.
