History: | Kelly Brothers, of Angelina County, were an independent tram logging outfit working in Walker County in 1911. That year they owned at least the following equipment: One twelve-ton locomotive, horses, mules, red six-wheel, twenty-eight ton locomotive, four logging cars, and 33,035 linear feet of #25 railroad iron. They sold the twenty-eight ton locomotive, four loging cars, and the 33,035 feet of railroad iron to the sawmill firm of Gebhart, Williams, Fenet Co. of Carolina, for$4,423. GW&F also agreed to assume a $1,900 debt to San Jacinto Luimber Company by Kelly Brothers.
Presumably, tram operations were conducted in the vicinity of Carolina Creek, in the northeastern part of Walker County. |
