| Historicial Development: | Ms. Kathryn Johnson Hunter, Ms. Hazel Brown Kesinger, and Ms. Inez Brown Boatman lived their early lives at Prince's Mill. Rudolph Prince operated sawmills at four different sites in Nacogdoches County during the 1920s. Two of the sites were associated with Parkerville, along a dirt road that existed from Farm Market 789 and Goodman Bridge on the Angelina River.
This small mill was located along the Parkerville-Seedtick road, about two miles from Parkerville, the location of the main mill. The commissary, mill offices, tenant housing, and commissary were located at Parkerville. |
