Historicial Development: The Adams Lumber, O. F. Adams and W. H. Philips partners, was formed in 1946 and had operations in Huntsville, Conroe, and west of Conroe. The latter was under lease in 1948 to A. L. Lockhart. This sawmill, probably portable, was sold to Pacific Lumber Company in May 1948, along with a mill shed and a gasoline power unit.
