| historical development: | According to a bill of sale, J. W. Winfree had a plant known as the W R Mill, located probably at Crockett, where he had a planing mill. He also had milling operations near Shiloh, Lovelady, and west of Lovelady. On July 12, 1923, Winfree sold to A. L. Zachary the ?Tantrebogue sawmill? with a cotton gin, steam machinery, a grist mill, and three unused boilers and steam engines near Lovelady.? The ?Tantrebogue? sawmill was probably located on Tantabogue Creek, west of Lovelady. |
