Historicial Development: W. N. Alexander sold the Robinson sawmill to John A. Bolton in 1901. Property included a 20-horsepower steam engine, a 30-horsepower boiler, and a log carrier. W. T. Block believes that the Robinson Mill actually was that of W. T. Robertson, a Jacksonville sawmiller enumerated in the Census of 1900.
