Discovery of Town of Finley History

Article by Cara Spoto wisconsinrapidstribune.com
Sixty years ago, retired Washington state prison official Bob Freeman found a small leather trunk in a home he bought in Walla Walla, Wash.
About 19 inches long, 11 inches wide, and 11 inches in height, the trunk bore the inscription: "CARLTON H. FINLEY PITTSVILLE, WIS. / CRUSADE COMDY. 17.K.T./ Stevens Point. Wis."
Impressed by the quality of the little trunk, Freeman gave it to an inmate at the Washington State Penitentiary where he worked to see whether the man could work the leather back to its original state.
"He had it in his cell for some six months bringing it back to reality," Freeman, 86, recalls.
About two weeks ago, Freeman contacted the Stevens Point Journal hoping to find out who Carlton H. Finley was.
