 | NEW - this photo was featured in "Sweden celebrates split from Lovell" in the Advertiser Democrat. Unfortunately, the page has been removed.In response to the article, reader SwedenHistoryFan contributed the following to the paper:The photo marked 'Hutchins' burned down in the mid 1970s but it was located at what is now 250 Plummer School Rd. Forrest Hutchins came to Sweden around 1912. He was part of group of men from Portland selecting ash trees from which to craft handles axes, shovels and other tools. He stayed, married a local woman and purchased the house in this picture from Sam Plummer. He lived there until 1964 when the house was sold to Donald Starbird.
