Photograph of Erick Johnson's farm in Princeton, Felch Township. The farm consisted mainly of cut-over lands which were sold cheaply to people who remained in the area after the Metropolitan Lumber Company sawmill closed. The land, covered with stumps was used for pasture until the back-breaking job of clearing fields could be completed.
