HISTORY BY ANN ALLEN(DAUGHTER)
OWNER OF THE SAW WAS JOSEPH LEO MARR FROM MOOSE RIVER,RR5, NEW GLASGOW,PICTOU CO, NOVA-SCOTIA. BORN IN 1905 AND PASSED AWAY IN 1992. THE OWNER OPERATED THE SAW FOR HIS OWN USE ON HIS FARM TO SUPPLY FIREWOOD FOR HIS WOOD STOVE AND WOOD BURNING FURNACE IN THE HOME.
HE CUT AND SPLIT THE FIREWOOD AND CORDED IT ALL BY HIMSELF AND WAS VERY PROUD OF HIS WOODPILES. THE SAW WAS ALSO USED TO CUT PULPWOOD AND LOGS TO SELL. AS HE GREW OLDER HE BOUGHT A LIGHTER POWERSAW EASIER TO HANDLE.
HE WORKED IN THE WOODS CUTTING LOGS FROM A VERY EARLY AGE.
WORKING HARD ALL HIS LIFE HE USED THE PICTURED CROSSCUT SAW UNTIL HE BOUGHT HIS FIRST POWERSAW.....THANK YOU ANN,
