Pi steam engine across northern Indiana. By the time she married Howard Utter in 1934, the sawmill had moved to Jones, Mich., where Shambaugh joined them in 1935. Shambaugh’s grandparents had been neighbors of John S. Pike, the man who introduced the Pike name to Indiana’s lumber industry in 1853. His father had used horses and wagons to haul logs for D. A. Pike, Helen Utter’s father, and later became a skilled tie hewer. It was only natural that young Lewis Shambaugh, called Jack by everyone who knew him, should follow his father’s footsteps by becoming a hewer affiliated with the Pike firm “They paid me 23 cents an hour,” Shambaugh recalled. “The work was hard, but we had fun.” He remembered sleeping in bunk houses built on skids that were pulled by horses from camp to camp. Asked what they did for relaxation, he confided, “We used to go out in the woods at night and brew wine from berries and wild cherries.” When the Utters decided to locate in Akron in 1937, Shambaugh was one of a three-man crew that accompanied them. The others, Ernest Tucker and Lester Wood, along with Howard Utter, preceded him in death. “Howard Utter used to tell me he’d push me around in a wheelchair as long as I wanted to come visit,” Shambaugh said. “Only problem is, I outlived him.” He never outlived his pride in the company he helped establish and that he saw evolve from a tie-cutting operation to one propelled by 21st century technology that sells kiln-dried lumber to an international market. “Rode the carriage there for 23 years, then I sawed and filed for 24 years,” Shambaugh said. “Working there was a good life. You had to know what you were doing, but you were never alone. Everyone was like family.” After Shambaugh retired he liked to boast, “I get a check (his pension) from Pike every Friday and I go visit every Saturday.” That, plus daily trips to Rochester’s Burger King for lunch, provided the nucleus of his life until illness sidelined him. Shambaugh died last week at the age of 83, leaving Helen Utter as the only surviving member of Pike Lumber Company’s original team. “Jack was the last of a dying breed and certainly one of the last tie hewers,” said the Utters’ son, Channing. “He saw sawmilling come into the modern era and he had very essential skills and crafts. His was a rare talent, now long gone, a skill passed from father to son.” While the old hewer is gone, the Shambaugh name remains on the Pike payroll. His son, Fred, is employed there as a material handler. Another son, Jack, is a former employee.
