Historicial Development: | F. G. Waldron's name was misspelled in an 1880 Chicago lumberman directory as F. W. Walrond, but other evidence is such that he is the same person who also was listed in the directory as owning a sawmill at Longview, in Gregg County, in 1880. Nancy B. Ruff's Harrison County, Texas, Caucasian Residents in 1880, lists T. G. “Frank” Waldron as running a sawmill at Hallsville. |
