Historicial Development: | S. M. Henry cut lumber at his small sawmill in Troup for more than ten years. In 1893, he was sawing 5,000 feet daily. This mill was listed in the Reference Book of the Lumbermen's Credit Association, January 1905 and was cutting 14,000 feet a day in 1906 by the Southern Industrial and Lumber Review. It was listed by the LCA again in 1907. |
