Historicial Development: | Although the Beaumont Enterprise, June 11, 1905, reported that Hanna “has about used up all his timber” and would be moving his mill to Tyler County, the Beaumont Journal, a week later noted that Hanna of Seven Oaks had a new mill there in 1905. The latter report was con- firmed by a Southern Industrial and Lumber Review sawmill listing in 1906. |
