Historicial Development: Anderson & Moore were listed in the 1907 records at Rosewood. Anderson and Junius Moore gave a timber deed to J. W. Whitt and T. J. Still in 1907, located near their mill about ten miles northwest of Gilmer. Anderson & Moore apparently contracted Whitt and Still to log the land.
