Historicial Development: | This mill was listed in the name of E. A. Qualline, which probably was misspelled and should have read E. A. Oualline. Oualline had been a prominent logging and sawmilling name in Montgomery County since the 1880s. This company was not listed in 1934 at Willis by the The Lumbermen's Credit Rating Book, October 1934. |
