Historicial Development:	The American Lumberman reported in February 1906 that Ninty & Henslee were putting in a sawmill at Cushing. It appeared in the Reference Book of the Lumbermen's Credit Association, January 1907. This mill may have been located at Caro, about seven miles southeast on the Texas & New Orleans from Cushing. Caro Townsite Company deeded Lot No. 11 in Block No. 25 to L. H. Henslee on November 16, 1904. A Warranty Dee from L. H. and Pearl Henslee to W. F. Daniel, April 19, 1907, reveals that W. F. Daniel bought Caro townsite from Henslee in 1907. A Daniel Lumber Company mill began operating in or near Caro about 1909.
