History: Coulson-Bradley Company was listed as operating a hardwood mill at Conroe in 1934 by The Lumbermen's Credit Rating Book, October 1934. In fact, the mill had been located at Old Security in the Bennette addition in 1928 and purchased from Ellis A. Oualline in 1928. Oualline had foreclosed on Otho S. Wooley, a sawmiller from Shelby County. Wooley's sawmill had a steam engine, two boilers, a carriage and steam feed, a saw husk and saw works, cutoff saws, log cars, lumber dollies and rails on Wooley's tram road.
