Historicial Development: | D.H. Fleming was an early East Texas sawmiller who followed the construction of the railroads to tap the most easily accessible pine stumpage. In 1880, he operated a small mill south of the Trinity River on the Houston, East and West Texas Railway, but he ran sawmills on the line of the Trinity & Sabine in Polk County. |
