These tools were left behind by the loggers of days long ago. If you walk around the beach west of the path to the memorial and graveyard you can find many different indications of the activities that used to take place here. The black and white photo above is from a depot farm located east of the graveyard. This photo was provided by Fred Braley who received it from a friend by the name of Gary - whose father was born on Radiant Lake and had a cottage on the east side of the narrows where the North River enters the lake. He later moved his cottage to the other side of the lake. As seen in the photo, there is a plaque attached to the rock dedicated to the rivermen and an RCAF pilot, it reads,

'In this enclosure are buried the bodies of more than twenty rivermen drown in the nearby waters before 1916, when the railroad was completed. To Designate this spot as their final resting place this tablet is placed here in loving memory of F/O Donald Mervyn Eastman, killed overseas, 9th June 1945.'
