Historicial Development: | J. H. Wedgeworth was operating a sawmill in Shelby County in 1906. Some of his equipment (an Atlas 8-inch by 10-inch steam engine, an Atlas boiler, and a side edger) had been bought earlier from the Trammel Lumber Company, which may have been the successor to the Shelby County Lumber Company after its default in the early 1890s. |
