Historicial Development: | M. M. Maxwell, according to the Southern Industrial and Lumber Review in 1906, had a sawmill at Overton on which he was cutting 30,000 feet of lumber daily. It did not operate for long, because the mill does not appear in trade journals or other mill listings after 1906. |
