CASTLE: Edward fondly remembered

I read Barbara McDonald’s letter in The Press. I remember Edward Castle Sr. when he was employed by the Blackwell Lumber Co., 1935-36. He drove a hearse that pulled loads of lumber from the mill to be piled and dried. Loads were then pulled back to the planer for finishing. The loads were in a narrow gauge rail system.

I was employed as a beginner until the mill shut down in 1936. I remember Kamp Komfort on N. 4th St. However, I didn’t know Mrs. Castle or their son. Mr. Castle was a very friendly and respected man.
