Historicial Development: T J Nash was operating a sawmill somewhere in Shelby County in 1903. Much of his equipment including a log wagon and three yokes of oxen were mortgaged to W. B. Hanson, one of the sawmilling Hanson family from Joaquin. He did not appear in the 1905 edition of Reference Book of the Lumbermen's Credit Association.
