| Historicial Development: | T. P. Wragg's sawmill appeared in the “List of Lumber Mills located on the Beaumont Division of the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe R'y, also Orange and Northwestern R'y, March 28, 1904,” Santa Fe System Circular No. 2090. The mill output was controlled by Darlington-Miller of Galveston, which had solid business influence in the sawmill trade of Shelby County. Wragg's mill appeared in 1905 in the Reference Book of the Lumbermen's Credit Association, January 1905.
This probably the mill reported by The Daily Sentinel on July 24, 1903, that James Garrison was putting in at Neuville. Shelby County Mechanic Lien Records reveal that Garrison & Garrison had a sawmill located on ten acres of the C. C. Tuft headright, nine miles south of Center. |
