| History: | Southern Lumberman's Directory of American Saw Mills and Planing Mills, 5th ed., listed Moody and Wells Lumber Company at Mineola, in Bowie County, in 1928 as a mill manufacturing 10,000 feet daily of hardwood and pine lumber. It operated a tram road. The American Lumberman noted in 1921. Logging was done with a “truck railroad” that could make six trips a day to the mill from the woods, carrying 3,500 to 4,000 feet of rough lumber per load for a shortleaf yellow pine sawmill that could 25,000 feet daily.
