| Historicial Development: | L. E. Tillman and W. T. McPeak had a sawmill and cotton gin located on the public road from Winnsboro to Gilmer. The Patterson and Miller Lumber Company bought the Tillman-McPeak sawmill plant, excluding the gin, on 18 March 1907. Included in the sale were the sawmill and steam machinery, six oxen plus the corrals, and two log wagons. Patterson and Miller Lumber voided the contract with a quit claim deed to Tillman and McPeak on 12 June 1907. Patterson and Miller Lumber Company of Pittsburg, Camp County, sold its sawmill No. 9, located about five miles west of Gilmer on the Gilmer-Winnsboro public road, along with its steam machinery and land to McPeak-Tillman for $1,400. |
