Good background on the mill again and on the production of flour. Must have been good bread and pastry made at the farm as their flour was so fresh. And no hideous processing or chemicals to interfere with nutrition and taste. The real deal.
And what of the photo of the unknown young woman? I wonder if today’s hairstyles will look as severe and ungainly to our descendants as this one does to us. This style does nothing to flatter a sweet face and a poised bearing.
Blueberries were a significant item for many Finns. My grandfather had a 'blueberry house' near the sawmill. The blueberries were in qt boxes which were in crates. He made trips to the coop in Fitchburg. For fun reading I recommend: https://www.amazon.com/Blueberry-God-Education-Finnish-American/dp/0960504427d .
On sawmills, Walter Maki's brother (whose name escapes me) operated a sawmill in Bank Village with one arm. He also drove a tractor and farmed after losing that arm.
On the women photos, they look beautiful to me, the lack of make-up lets their natural beauty come through.
