| Historicial Development: | D. M. Angle, after the death in 1892 of his partner and cousin, George Stryker, moved his sawmill from Polk County to Trinity Çounty. The sawmill at Bissel appeared in the Galveston Weekly News in 1893 cutting 25,000 board feet of lumber per day. D. M. Angle is recorded in a Northwestern publication as beginning his sawmill career in New Waverly in 1880. He later would own mills in Trinity and Polk counties. D. M. “Angel” was listed as a lumber broker in Houston in 1884 by a railroad directory.
It is not known if he moved the Eagle tram road from Stryker to Bissel. |
