# Frederick Weyerhaeuser *Person named in the Minnesota record through the local interests managed for him by William Sauntry, part-owner of the St. Croix Boom.* Frederick Weyerhaeuser appears in the Minnesota record only through William Sauntry. According to the Wikipedia article on Sauntry's house, Sauntry came to [[Stillwater]] in the late 1860s as a lumberjack and became part-owner of the St. Croix Log Boom and manager of Weyerhaeuser's local interests.[^2] The record does not establish Weyerhaeuser's own role in the boom beyond that association.[^2] The one at-issue entry that names him, AI-Washington-056 in the project's Washington package, takes as its primary anchor a National Park Service article on the [[St. Croix Boom]]. The entry describes that article as "a federal agency's account of the county's dominant industry, start to finish." It records that fifteen and a half billion board feet passed through the boom between 1856 and 1914, and that the last log went through on June 12, 1914.[^1] ## Who The record identifies Weyerhaeuser as the principal whose local interests Sauntry managed. Sauntry was also a part-owner of the St. Croix Log Boom, according to the Wikipedia article on the William Sauntry House and Recreation Hall.[^2] The record carries no other biographical facts about Weyerhaeuser.[^1][^2] ## When The at-issue entry dates the boom's throughput to the years 1856 through 1914, a span of fifty-eight years. It gives June 12, 1914, as the date the last log went through.[^1] The Wikipedia article on Sauntry's house states that he died by suicide in a downtown St. Paul hotel on November 10, 1914, five months after the last log passed.[^2] ## How much The at-issue entry gives the boom's total throughput as fifteen and a half billion board feet.[^1] The Wikipedia article puts Sauntry's peak worth at approximately $2 million. It states that he was ruined when the forests were logged out and the boom closed.[^2] ## In the at-issue record Entry AI-Washington-056 (rank 56) appears under the section *The Referral Architecture & the County That Got the Prison Edition*. It sets the boom's 1856–1914 throughput and its June 12, 1914, close beside the death of the man who managed Weyerhaeuser's local interests. That man died in a St. Paul hotel five months later, "ruined when the forests ran out."[^1][^2] The entry's tags are the 15.5-billion-board-feet figure, the June 12, 1914, date, and Sauntry.[^1] ## Notes [^1]: National Park Service, *St. Croix Boom* (undated) — primary anchor of at-issue entry AI-Washington-056 for the boom's throughput of fifteen and a half billion board feet from 1856 to 1914 and the last log on June 12, 1914. https://www.nps.gov/articles/000/stcroixboom.htm [^2]: Wikipedia, *William Sauntry House and Recreation Hall* (CC BY-SA 4.0; tertiary, cited via project dossier) — Sauntry's arrival in Stillwater, his part-ownership of the St. Croix Log Boom, his management of Frederick Weyerhaeuser's local interests, his peak worth of about $2 million, and his death on November 10, 1914. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Sauntry_House_and_Recreation_Hall
