About half of the mills recorded were located in or near Marshall or Hallsville. At least thirty-eight mills operated in the county in the decade 1900 - 1910 (East Texas Sawmill Database©), as represented by George E. Prothro mill in Hallsville, the Bivins Lumber Company in Talley, and the Flewellen Lumber Company in Marshall.
