| Historicial Development: | A. P. Phillips earlier leased a site on which J. Q. Holman had built a sawmill. Phillips in 1907 leased the 200 acres of the land, located on Wilson Palmer, to A. L. Morgan with an option for Morgan to either lease the mill and mill site or to erect a new mill. The improvements and site would revert to Phillips in five years. Seven days later Morgan took a timber deed with W. M. Dunagan on sixty acres of timber. J. Q. Holman sold for $1490 his sawmill plant located eight miles south of Gilmer to A. L. Morgan in October 1907, including the mill, shed, planer, mill houses, and the edger. |
