Hej Karen and Barbro, Just some ideas to consider. In regard to the hard to read powder plant, I remember there was a dynamite plant on Hwy 13,just south of Washburn, and I think it was in the village of Barksdale. I think the plant started in World War I.
This plant was shut down about 1960, and the village has pretty much disappeared. Only a few small homes remain. On the other hand, maybe the men were working at an electrical power plant. There was one in Ashland, Wisconsin.
There is a historical society building in downtown Washburn on Highway 13. Or you might try contacting Northland College in Ashland, Wisconsin that may have collected the history of the area. Mvh Floyd Hallberg
