| Historicial Development: | L. J. Everett bought O. J. Bruce's shingle mill and drag saw, located six miles southwest of Longview, in 1893. He seemed to be running a “finishing” mill as well, for in 1894 he bought some lumber from J. E. Robinson that the latter had received from the Todd Bros sawmill at Gladewater
