| Historicial Development: | The local newspaper reported on April 20, 1906, that Hands & Henderson “are a clearing a site for their new sawmill plant, which will arrive in a few days. . . . They will cut ties primarily, but will also make a limited amount of lumber. They have a large amount of tie timber already & will acquire more as needed.”
They were not listed in the Reference Book of the Lumbermen's Credit Association, January 1907. |
