| Historicial Development: | The M. C. Lively sawmill operated for eleven months during the census year ending May 31, 1880. Employing six men normally and ten at peak, Lively paid $1.00 daily for nine-hour shifts in the winter and eleven-hour shifts in the summer. He paid out $2000 total in wages. From $4,000 worth of sawlogs and supplies, the sawmill produced a value of $7,600 in lumber (about 750,000 board feet) and another $2,000 in other products.
Lively operated for a short time beginning in 1883 a sawmill at or near Atlanta. |
