Historicial Development: The Hatley mill was listed in the Reference Book of the Lumbermen's Credit Association, January 1905. This mill was not listed in the 1907 edition. D. C. Ford gave a mortgage to T. B. Hatley on his sawmill equipment on February 8, 1905. Property included steam machinery, a cut-off saw, a planer, and six yoke of oxen. The mill was located eleven miles west of Marshall. Hatley mortgaged the steam engine the following year for $637.50.
