| Description |
|
| |
H.G. Bohlssen bought a 100 acre tract of land and
built a sawmill near Ewing. The town was located near a rail line
and virgin hardwood forests. The mill was known as the Angelina
Hardwood Co. The mill produced 45,000 bd. Ft. in 1928 and up to
80,000 bd. Ft in 1935. A lack of labor, the rising cost of bringing
logs from a distance and the death of the general manager all contributed
to the mill closing in 1944.
The marker site is located17 mi. east of Lufkin on SH 103.
