ABSTRACT SUMMARY OF COLLECTION

Clyde Iron Works, Inc. was a manufacturer of heavy equipment with its beginning in Duluth in 1889. Its manufacturing plant was located at 29th avenue west and Michigan street from 1908. It had sales warehouses in several cities, including New York, Chicago, Savanna, and New Orleans. The company manufactured logging tools and eventually built cranes that could handle up to 2,000 tons. Its initial acclaimed machine was the McGiffert Log Loader first sold in 1902 whose inventor became a company officer. Clyde's Whirley cranes are used in world ports including Duluth and applied to jobs including offshore drilling. Clyde was sold to Barium Steel Co. of Ohio in 1944 and sold several more times before the Duluth operation closed in 1986, moved to St. Paul, and merged with the marine division of American Hoist & Derrick to become AmClyde. In 1988, Duluth Engineering & Manufacturing Co. bought Clyde's idled equipment, leased Clyde's facilities, and employed some former Clyde staff to make replacement parts for AmClyde's custom-built cranes. In 2003, the 10.5 Lincoln Park site was purchased by a party intent on creative re-use.

Clyde History

NOTE: There is an undated, one-page "History of The Clyde" that has been used extensively to describe the Clyde Iron Works and its history. This brief document probably dates from 1942 because it mentions the prestigious Army-Navy production award presented to Clyde Iron Works during WWII in that year. In the "History of the Clyde" the history recounted begins in 1899, a decade after Clyde was formed: the information is correct. Original company minutes and articles of incorporation in the archives date from October 15, 1889. The Clyde company history in the first paragraph below includes the pre-1899 history.

Also of note is the use of the name 'Clyde'. It has been suggested in print that the origin of the use of the name 'Clyde' was not known - not recorded. Oral tradition suggests that 'Clyde' refers to the Scottish river and thereby linked to an officer of the company who has family ties to the region of the Clyde river. However, the officer arrived in Duluth in 1892 and came to the company in 1901. The original October 15, 1889 minutes and an impression of the corporate seal stamped into page 13 of the minute book document that the name -- The Clyde Iron Company -- was already in use in 1889.

Clyde Iron Works Historical Sketch

On October 15, 1889, five men met in the office of Snively & Craig in room 301 of the First National Bank building in downtown Duluth to organize and elect officers for The Clyde Iron Company. Articles of Incorporation were recorded at the Minnesota Secretary of State's office (filed Oct. 24, 1889) and the office of Register of Deeds in St. Louis County (filed Oct. 21, 1889).

The nature of the business of The Clyde Iron Company described in the 1889 Articles remained accurate for many years: smelting of iron and other metals, manufacturing of all classes of engines, marine as well as stationary, boilers and machinery of all descriptions, forgings of all kinds, castings of iron, steel, brass and other metals for structural and other purposes, and doing all the things necessary to a general foundry and machine business including repairs…and the buying, selling and dealing in all kinds of metals, merchandise and marine supplies usual to business of a similar character…commencing on this 15th day of October, 1889, with capital stock of 1,000 shares of $100 each. Charles P. Craig, president - 150 shares, James Cash, secretary and treasurer - 122.5, Jay W. Anderson, vice president - 245, Daniel G. Cash - 150, and John G. Williams - 150 shares, all Duluthians, comprised the initial board of directors. One additional stock holder was Samuel F. Snively holding 61.25 shares of Clyde stock. The remaining 121.25 shares were reserved. Jay W. Anderson was appointed general manager of the company whose operations were located on south Lake Avenue.

The company's officers expanded the operation at Lake Avenue, hiring architect Oliver Greene Traphagen to draw plans that were accepted February 6, 1890. Charles Yager's bid to put in foundations was also accepted and building commenced.

The annual meeting of the stockholders was held October 15,1890 at 304-308 Lake Avenue south. New stockholders R. A. Webster and J. Scott Cash attended, but by October 1894, minutes of The Clyde Iron Company indicate financial difficulties, concomitant embarrassment, and the need to dispose of Company property to resolve indebtedness.

Articles of Incorporation were executed for Northwestern Supply Company on January 30, 1899 by Charles P. Craig, Harry Crawford and Richard Webster. A March 11, 1899 resolution passed unanimously to accept the March 4th offer of Northwestern Supply Company's President Harry C. Crawford to purchase The Clyde Iron Company's merchandise for $20,000 of Northwestern Supply Company's capital stock. On April 18, 1899, the directors of The Clyde Iron Company authorized the immediate sale of the balance of the treasury stock of The Clyde, 158 shares, for $2,500 to Harry C. Crawford.

From the beginning, the principal men associated with Clyde Iron and men in the various companies linked to Clyde Iron overlap, and some company names are similar. On June 12, 1901, Northwestern Manufacturing Company assumed the obligations of The Clyde Iron Company, and for one dollar bought all of the property, contracts and deeds of the company. The Northwestern Manufacturing Company of Minnesota was formed January 2, 1899 by President and Treasurer Carl A. Luster, Vice President Edwin P. Stone (of Saginaw, Michigan) and Secretary George C. Stone who comprised its first board. The recorded purpose of the company carried forward that of The Clyde: the manufacture and sale of lumbermens, miners, contractors, artisans, and agricultural tools of every kind and description, manufacture and sale of sleighs and wheeled trucks, buying and selling lumber and other manufactured products, and iron forgings.

The name The Northwestern Manufacturing Company of Duluth, Minnesota, continued to be used until June 10, 1901, when stockholders voted to amend articles 1, 2, and 4 and name the company Clyde Iron Works. The minutes include "after due consideration and discussion", but nothing more is said in the record about the company's name. On July 19, 1901 stockholders purchased the merchandise of Northwestern Supply Company and re-capitalized in July a year later. A report the following year shows, November 3, 1903, that Luster held 965 shares, each Mr. Stone 7.5, and Harry C. Crawford 20 totaling 1000. The Stones and Luster continued as officers.

Close association with logging operations in various parts of the country gave the company a thorough knowledge of logging and its problems and spurred initiatives. In 1901, due to the evolution from hand to mechanical methods in all areas of labor, a steam log loader was designed and manufactured. It was placed on the market in 1902, and its Duluth inventor, lawyer John R. McGiffert, became an officer in the company.

This patented machine, the first of its kind, completely revolutionized the log handling industry. The McGiffert Log Loader was a self-propelled device with retractable wheels that was placed astride railroad tracks to load logs onto railroad cars. Simple enough for any logging camp worker to operate, it took log-loading out of the manual labor class and revolutionized that part of the business. Subsequent development of other logging machines by Clyde was a factor in mechanizing and increasing the productive capacity of the logging industry and Clyde's role in it. The directors purchased the "log loading machinery" plant of the R. H. & F. M. Roots Co. of Indiana in February 1904.

Edwin Pearson Stone, Saginaw, Michigan, resigned as vice president and director of Clyde Iron Works December 27, 1904 requiring a special meeting on January 18, 1905. George C. Stone resigned as secretary and immediately seconded a motion that John R. McGiffert be appointed a director to fill the vacancy of Edwin Stone. McGiffert was also elected secretary of the board of Clyde Iron Works.

Offerings of additional stock sales and purchase of land ensued through the 1930s. A 1907 stockholders list showed 2100 shares and included: A. M. Marshall 710, C. A. Luster 320, J. R. McGiffert 170, Seth, Caroline and Julia Marshall each held 30.

A 1912 letterhead still described the Clyde Iron Works as Founders and Machinists; however, from its beginnings and through the decades, Clyde invested in pioneering and improving machinery for contractors, material handling, and industrial plants, as well as for loggers. As logging engines were usually operated at remote, inaccessible locations, frequently by inexperienced operators, Clyde engineers designed them for sound, simple construction to assure continuous performance to meet this rugged service.

Clyde's reputation for building high-quality, trouble free machines spread to the construction and material handling field. The types of machines demanded by the growth of American industry brought about a consistent expansion of Clyde's production facilities. In 1908 the company moved from its location on Lake Avenue south to a number of acres at 29th Avenue west and Michigan street where it remained through 1986 irrespective of its many, revolving, out-of-state parent firms. Clyde engineers contributed a great deal to the development of modern hoisting equipment, and in 1912 Clyde was first to use internal combustion engines for hoisting.

The directors voted on July 16, 1908 to accept the offer of Clyde Iron Works of Maine, Carl A. Luster, President, to issue its capital stock to purchase all of the assets and assume all of the obligations of Clyde Iron Works of Minnesota. The value of capital stock of Clyde Iron Works of Maine received by the Clyde Iron Works of Minnesota was distributed to its stockholders.

Clyde Iron Works had a relationship with Marshall-Wells Hardware, another large, long-lived, Duluth company. In August 1924, the Clyde Iron Works board and its officers included: President C. A. Luster, A. M. Marshall, Seth Marshall, Vice President J. R. McGiffert, Secretary and Treasurer M. W. Lepp. The Clyde Iron Works January 5, 1925 minutes contain the text of a January 2, 1925 letter from Seth Marshall, vice president of Marshall Wells Building Corporation, to Luster, president of Clyde Iron Works:

"…In selling to you 1900 shares of Clyde Equipment Company stock on the basis of book value, viz. $115.00 per share,…In payment of this stock you are to pay us $100,000 in cash, and the balance either by our note or your Preferred Stock on such basis as this Company could market it within a year without loss…We hereby agree to sell the Clyde Iron Works the balance of our holdings in the Clyde Equipment Company on December 31, 1927,…should you at that time wish to exercise this option. Yours very truly, Marshall-Well Buildings Corporation. Seth Marshall, Vice President." Accepted: Clyde Iron Works, C. A. Luster, President.

Clyde Iron was not identified as a subsidiary of Marshall-Wells in either company's financial records, but Marshall-Wells Buildings Corporation may have been a controlling share holder in the Clyde Equipment Company into the 1930s.

Several holding companies were formed, and company restructuring occurred in 1936 and again in 1942. On June 21, 1920, at Duluth, Luster, Oscar Mitchell and M. W. Lepp incorporated the Clyde Iron Works Sales Company. The Cleveland-Duluth Company, Inc. a New York company, was incorporated July 2, 1920. The Cleveland Duluth Holding Company was incorporated in Minnesota November 15, 1926; assets were initially liquidated March 10, 1927, and the company was dissolved June 20, 1934. Incorporators were Luster, J. R. McGiffert, Oscar Mitchell, Wildey H. Mitchell, and Agnes Carmody. Cleveland Duluth Holding Company purchased up to 1500 shares of the capital stock of Cleveland Duluth Company, a New York corporation.

Equipment sales show the hundreds of sites and projects where Clyde equipment was used. Among the most famous buildings constructed using Clyde equipment are the Empire State building, Radio City, the UN building, Pittsburgh's Golden Triangle, and the tallest building in Texas, the Republic bank.

By 1935, Clyde Iron's hoists, derricks, and Whirley cranes (called Whirleys because they can whirl, or be rotated, 365 degrees) were used in many notable projects including Boulder Dam at Boulder City, Nevada; San Francisco-Oakland Bridge, Golden Gate Bridge at San Francisco; Grand Coulee Dam near Spokane, Washington; three Mississippi River Locks and four Mississippi dams; Cumberland River Locks A, B, C, D, E, and F in Tennessee and Kentucky; and Coos Bay Bridge at North Bend, Oregon. Also by 1935, Clyde equipment was furnished to the U. S. Government offices of U.S. Engineers in Cincinnati, Detroit, Duluth, Jacksonville, Kansas City, Memphis, Milwaukee, New Orleans, New York, Nome, Pittsburgh among others. As well as for the Navy Department at Washington, D. C., and the Department of Commerce Lighthouse Services of Detroit, Milwaukee, Portland, and Staten Island, New York.

The company's contributions during WWII were many. Clyde's entire facilities and its 400 workers produced Whirley cranes, cargo hoists, anchor windlasses, capstans, pile drivers, hoists, and derricks for the government. They worked 24 hours a day. An in-house publication stated: "…The peace time "know how" and high precision standards of workmanship, developed

throughout the years are now being applied to the exacting task of producing shipyard whirley cranes, various types of deck machinery and other equipment for the nation's war needs. The Army-Navy production award will serve as an inspiration to all Clyde employees to strive for increased quality and quantity in production and further contributions to the war efforts and to ultimate victory."

Many other Whirley cranes were put into use by the Army, frequently at remote places where there were no unloading facilities. Some were mounted on barges and unloaded planes, tanks, guns, and supplies from cargo ships to landing craft. It installed the first Allied bridge across the Rhine in WWII. Clyde equipment unloaded three-fourths of the supplies for Montgomery's troops in Africa. The Duluth-manufactured cranes were at the famous Henry Kaiser shipyards in Tacoma, Washington hoisting huge sections of steel into place, turning out tankers in from 10 to 24 days.

On October 7, 1942, Clyde was the first Duluth firm and sixth Minnesota company to be awarded the Army-Navy "E" for outstanding machine production, engineering ability, efficiency, and for the high character and workmanship of their products. Each worker wore an "E" pin. Four additional citations (production stars) were received for continued achievements in the all-out war program.

Clyde equipment loaded the first naval ship ever to make the Artic passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and Clyde equipment picked up the biggest piece of equipment ever put aboard a Great Lakes ship.

Clyde Iron Works was sold to Barium Steel Corporation of Canton, Ohio, producers of alloy and carbon steel, in August 1944, becoming one of the 16 industries comprising that company. The sale price, according to New York financial sources, was $1,500,000. The Duluth Firm continued full production of war materials. Barium's President Rudolph Eberstadt announced that while longtime President and General Manager Carl A. Luster and Vice President John R. McGiffert were retiring, both would remain as advisors to Barium Steel. A new board was appointed. It is not clear if one action may have prompted the other.

Post-war, Clyde Iron immediately resumed manufacture of construction and material handling equipment. In 1947, France purchased a number of cranes for loading and unloading ships in ports destroyed by the war. The cranes were used at Dunkerque, Calais, LaHavre, Rouer and LaRochelle. By the 1950s, Clyde had a highly technical and fully equipped plant that occupied ten acres with a machine shop, structural shop, pattern, forge, electrical welding, fabricating, and assembly shops, as well as a power house, storage, and office facilities. The workforce stood at about 250 in its eight shops in 1956.

It maintained a large staff of trained technicians and engineers who specialized in equipment design for more efficient performance. In 1961, Clyde built what is believed to be the world's largest portable hoist. It was used by American Bridge Co. in building the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge in New York harbor. In 1962, a Clyde built traveling tower derrick was designed for use in skyscraper construction. The 35 ton machine lifted itself 70 feet into the air on a four-foot-square tower. The derrick could lift four tons when its 80-foot boom was raised toward a vertical position. The "traveling" done by the derrick was straight up. Its 70-foot tower was placed on a concrete foundation inside the elevator shaft of the building to be constructed. The device went to a New York buyer.

The Clyde distributor organization maintained world-wide sales with service representatives in almost every large city in the United States - 80 cities. It was in 40 foreign countries and eleven major cities in Canada That world-wide reach enabled the company to be in close contact with customers' requirements and to offer recommendations and estimates in solving their material handling and construction problems. Clyde products were sold in 73 foreign countries and for years played an important role in almost every major construction project in this country.

In 1965 the Clyde heavy equipment manufacturing workforce stood at about 200 steelworkers. The world-famous Whirley was in demand and news accounts recorded remarkable developments that continued to link the Duluth plant to an international sphere. An oil well unit was shipped out in the fall of 1965 from the Duluth port. The 50,000 pound crane, had a boom of 100 feet with a ten-foot extension. It could lift 50,000 pounds at a twenty-foot radius. It had a fully revolving unit, operated by diesel motors. The hydraulic swinger had a four-speed transmission turned on a 78 foot diameter. It was purchased by Kerr-McGee Oil Industries of Oklahoma for off shore drilling. The crane was shipped from Duluth on the MANCHESTER RENOWN vessel for delivery in England.

Clyde's Whirley cranes were used, and continue to be used, in world ports including Duluth. In 1974 its equipment was used in offshore drilling in the North Sea.

Clyde Iron Works had a succession of out-of-state owners who supplied their men as Clyde's presidents and general managers. In 1957 Clyde was a wholly owned subsidiary of Republic Industrial Corporation of New York City; Republic merged with Valley Mould and Iron Corporation in 1967. By 1969 the parent firm of Clyde Iron Works became Microdot, Inc. of Greenwich, Connecticut, placing Clyde in its Equipment Systems Division, under President Rudolph Eberstadt, Jr. In April 1972, Duluth was assured by Microdot that a rumored sale would not take place. But in July, 1973 it did sell to one of three manufacturing entities of AMCA International Corp. of Hanover, New Hampshire (formerly known at Dombrico, Inc., a subsidiary of Dominion Bridge Co. of Montreal) who held the company until the January 1975 purchase by National Iron Company. The Duluth operation closed in 1986 and was moved to St. Paul, Minnesota and merged with the marine division of American Hoist & Derrick to become AmClyde.

Duluth newspapers ran advertisements for the site by Jerry Siegel in 1987 that referred to it as Clyde Industrial Park "up to 60,000 square feet of office space built to suit your needs". Eight former Clyde Iron employees started DEMCO (Duluth Engineering & Manufacturing Co.) on the site in 1988 when they struck a deal to make replacement parts for AmClyde's custom-built cranes. DEMCO bought Clyde's idled equipment, leased Clyde's facilities, and employed some former Clyde staff. DEMCO manufactured digger derricks under the Pitman name.

The property was held by the State of Minnesota in mid-1996, and was purchased later the same year by Milton M. Siegel Co. and subsequently acquired by the Ziegler Family Trust based in Encino, California. The Trust retained Duluthian Jerry Siegel to manage the property. Jerry Siegel started Iron Clyde Manufacturing (note the two words are reversed) at the site. Iron Clyde was a build-to-print contract metal fabricator and machine shop. Jerry Siegel was director of sales of Iron Clyde and continued to oversee other tenants on the site.

After twelve years, on July 21, 2000, DEMCO's President Jack Gabler shut down that company putting its 39 Duluth employees and 13 Missouri employees out of work. Iron Clyde Manufacturing remained as the sites largest tenant in early 2003, but was struggling during an ongoing recession and falling behind n taxes. In May 2003, the 10.5 acres was purchased by Duluthian Alessandro Giuliani whose plan was to restore and preserve the original buildings of Clyde Iron by converting it into a landmark mix of retail, office space and light industry. The structures contained a combined 184,000 square feet of space. A new presence on the site is a recently developed Skateboard Park.

NOTABLE FACTS AND CLYDE FIRSTS:

In 1902, the McGiffert Steam Log Loader is manufactured, used by Clyde and sold by Clyde.

Clyde invested in years of pioneering and improving machinery for contractors, material handling, industrial plants, and loggers. Clyde engineers contributed much toward the development of modern hoisting equipment. Another notable Clyde first was in 1912 when Clyde was first to use internal combustion engines for hoisting duty.

In 1922 Clyde was first to use the silent chain drive on hoists.

In 1925 Clyde was first to use welded steel construction.

In 1926 Clyde was first to develop a hydraulically operated band friction hoist with face forward levers and an operator's seat.

In 1929 carloads of equipment were shipped to Russia to help build the Dneprostroy dam. The Smithsonian calls the dam "Soviet Russia's greatest hydroelectric project…" Steamers from the Black Sea, 200 miles down the Dnieper river, could penetrate hundreds of miles farther inland because the dam, and locks built with it, overcame obstructing rapids. It was the first super-dam to be constructed and was the keystone of Russia's five-year program: it was dedicated August 27, 1932.

In 1938 Clyde was first to produce a streamlined safety hoist with all moving parts, except the drum, completely enclosed.

In 1939 Clyde was first to design Whirley cranes for shipyard service. These machines were largely responsible for a new shipbuilding technique wherein ship sections were prefabricated, carried down the ways and then placed into position; a method that established a record time for ship construction.

During WWII, many other Whirley cranes were put into use by the Army, frequently at remote places where there were no unloading facilities. Some were mounted on barges and unleaded planes, tanks, guns, and supplies from cargo ships to landing craft. During the war, the entire facilities of Clyde were devoted toward the production of Whirleys, cargo hoists, anchor windlasses, capstans, pile drivers, hoists, and derricks for the government.

Elizabeth, New Jersey, Stevedoring Co., Model 24 DE 100+9 loading the largest dry cargo ship ever to call on port of New York with 33,500 long tons of scrap.

On October 7, 1942, Clyde was one of the first companies of its kind to be awarded the Army-Navy "E" for outstanding machine production, engineering ability, efficiency, and for the high character and workmanship of their products. Four additional citations (production stars) were also received for continued achievements in the all-out war program.

It installed the first Allied bridge across the Rhine in WWII.

In 1946 Clyde was first with a hoist with anti-friction bearings to obtain the highest degree of efficiency possible from the power unit.

In 1949 Clyde designed and build a man hoist, the first gasoline hoist approved by safety commissions for handling men.

In 1950 Clyde introduced the W-3 Whirlette, a full-revolving, self-contained steel derrick and subsequently added two larger sizes to the line, the W-45 and W-6 Whirley cranes.

In 1952 Clyde designed a new type of bulk materials Uploader, that utilized a patented double trolley arrangement. This effects a level luffing or horizontal bucket travel with a standard bucket instead of the costly, heavy fleet-through bucket.

In 1961, Clyde built what is believed to be the world's largest portable hoist, used by American Bridge Co. in building the Verrazano-Narros Bridge in New York harbor.

In 1970 the parent firm of Clyde Iron Works became Microdot, Inc. of Greenwich, Connecticut, placing Clyde in its Equipment Systems Division. It was purchased again in July, 1973 by AMCA International Corp. (formerly known at Dombrico, Inc., a subsidiary of Dominion Bridge Co. of Montreal) of Hanover, New Hampshire. Cyde was one of three manufacturing entities of AMCA's equipment systems division. Clyde's Whirley cranes were used, and continue to be used, in world ports including Duluth. In 1974 its equipment was used in many ways, including offshore drilling in the North Sea.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF PRINCIPAL PERSONNEL

Craig, Charles P., is best known for being a long-time champion of the seaway development - of a waterway from Duluth to the sea. This task was undertaken by the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Tidewater Association. Coolidge appointed him to a 15 year term as secretary of the U. S. St. Lawrence commission. Craig served as executive director for the association from its founding in 1920 until his death October 1, 1935, as the plan neared approval. He gave addresses throughout the country on the project and conferred with authorities in the United States and Canada in behalf of the job. He came here as a young graduate of the University of Pennsylvania law school. It was in the law school that he met Samuel F. Snively. Snively came to Duluth in 1886, and Craig followed later in the year. The two agreed to a law firm which continued until 1893, when both lost heavily in the financial panic of the time. Craig went into real estate after the partnership dissolved, and for many years was with the firm Craig & Gilbert. He was secretary and manager of Greysolon Farms Co.. Craig was also involved in experimental work in the development of dairying in this section of the state. The experimental and demonstration work which he and Duluthian John G. Williams carried on at the Jean Duluth farm proved the adaptability of the soil and climate of northeastern Minnesota for dairy products and the breeding of dairy cattle. In 1933, the University of Minnesota farm school honored him for the pioneering work in breeding certain types of cattle. He was declared one of five Minnesotans to have pioneered in agriculture work. He played a major role in the movement to abolish the "Pittsburgh Plus" practice of distributing steel. He fought this plan. Development of a Duluth port terminal was another of his civic interests. He and Mrs. Craig lived in Washington, D. C. for a time beginning in 1919. He died in Tacoma, Washington of pneumonia. His wife, Florence, and he had one daughter, Margaret Craig (Mrs. Thomas) Owens.

Luster, Carl A., founded Clyde Iron Works and served as its president until he retired in 1944, at the time the company was sold to Barium Steel Co. He came to Duluth in 1898 from Saginaw, Michigan. He died at age 81 in 1948.

McGiffert, John Rutherford, was born in Hudson, New York in 1869. He was the inventor and patent holder of the McGiffert Log Loader of 1901. McGiffert's inventive genius resulted in his obtaining more than 20 patents. The steam loader was manufactured by Clyde Iron Works in 1902, the same year McGiffert became an executive with Clyde Iron. He was the superintendent of the logging machinery department, and subsequently became the treasurer and secretary and later vice president of the corporation in general charge of the design and construction of all the machinery manufactured in the immense plant at Duluth. John R. McGiffert had a law degree from the University of New York prior to his arrival in Duluth in 1892. He came to Duluth to practice law. He and Gertrude Yates Magoun (1868-1961), also born in Hudson, married in 1896. The couple had five children. Mr. and Mrs. McGiffert were both active citizens of Duluth, contributing talent and service in many areas including the Red Cross, war relief, Anti-Tuberculosis and Health Association, board of education, the bethel, girl scouts, and the St. Paul's Episcopal church. John R. McGiffert retired in 1945, and died in Duluth in 1949 at the age of 80.

Mitchell, Oscar, Duluth attorney, was born on a farm in Greene county, Illinois in 1863. He graduated from the University of Michigan law school. He served three years as a country teacher and an additional four as a principal of the Salem, Missouri high school. He came to Duluth in 1891 and practiced law first with the firm of Washburn, Bailey and Mitchell and later Mitchell, Gillette, Nye & Harries. He was a director and counsel for the Stone-Ordean-Wells Co., and general counsel for Minnesota Power & Light Co., secretary of the Great Northern Power Co., a director for the Duluth-Superior Transit Co., and for the First and American National Bank. He was city attorney from 1900-1904. He was a member of Pilgrim Congregational church. Married Mary Wildey with whom he had sons Wildey H. and Oscar, Jr. and two daughters Margaret E. Mitchell and Mrs. Irving Fish. He died at age 74 in his home at 2516 East 5th street in Duluth February 17, 1937 of a heart attack brought on by influenza.

Snively, Samuel Frisby, was born in Pennsylvania in 1882. He died in Duluth in 1958 at the age of 92 three weeks short of 93. He taught school before he turned to law. Sam Snively, was a four term Duluth mayor from 1921 to 1936. He was referred to as "Mr. Duluth." He was a pioneer and business leader arriving in Duluth in 1886 via Wisconsin and real estate interests and investments. As mayor he aided in extending the Skyline parkway and U. S. Highway 2. His well developed farm was wiped out in the October 12, 13, 1918 forest fire. He never married but adored children, whom he annually favored with picnics and outings.

Stone, George Chickering (not to be confused with another George C. Stone of Duluth, George Calvin Stone) was the brother of William R. Stone, one of the founders of Stone-Ordean Company, later Stone-Ordean-Wells Company, the wholesale grocery firm. George Chickering Stone was born in August 1875, in Saginaw, Michigan. He entered the literary department of the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, from which he graduated with the degree of B. L. in the class of 1898. His first business career was with Stone-Ordean-Wells with whom he remained in 1898 and 1899. He married Marion Burt in 1899 at Saginaw. They returned to Duluth and joined the firm of Patrick & Granger Company, men's furnishings, until he became treasurer and later vice president of F. A. Patrick & Company (woolens). Mr. Stone's 1910 biography in Woodbridge & Pardee describes him as "one of the organizers and is vice president of the Clyde Iron Works, of Duluth; director of the Stone-Ordean-Wells Company, the Marshall-Wells Hardware Company, and the Northern Shoe Company." His 17 room home at 2228 East Superior street was built in 1901, designed by P. Cooper and Son of Saginaw.
