| Historicial Development: | D. A. Sanders and R. D. Kesler had a wood-working plant at Jacksonville.
In 1948, they sold it to A. C. Miller Company of Ohio for $11,000. The plant was housed in a building 60-feet by 148-feet. A letter from Union Fork and Hoe Company in Columbus, Ohio, to the Texas Forest Service in 1968 revealed that the former had a sawmill operating under the name of the A. C. Miller Company at Jacksonville, in Cherokee County. The mill turned whole logs into wooden dowels. The waste products were being burned in a Reese Teepee burner, the pollution from which violated the standards of the Texas Air Control Board. |
