Historicial Development: | The sawmill of J. S. Langston at Lovelady appeared in an 1884 railroad directory. A bill of sale recorded in the Houston County records notes that Dunnan and J. S. Langston, another sawmiller mentioned in the directory, had apparently joined together in a partnership after that date. |
