| Historicial Development: | Barney Bunt, the author of A Place Called Walker's Mill, recalled that father Wilton Bunt with sons Raymond, Felton, and Barnie operated a sawmill at the intersection of Highway 449 and Airlite Road, some three miles east of Walker's Mill, from 1934 to 1936, before relocating the next year to Walker's Mill. These smaller mills, at times called “peckerwood” and “doodlebug” and “whipporwill mills” could cut 10,000 feet daily.
In 1937, they moved the mill to Walker's Mill where it operated until 1949. |
