Hufsmith Lumber and Manufacturing Company, possibly succeeding the Fitzer Lumber Company, according to Montgomery County records, was a sawmill facility on Dry Creek, possibly north of Spring Creek near Decker's Prairie.
F. W. Bogs and Will J. Ball first operated the company, and Ball bought out Bogs in March, 1921. Ball sold a half interest, in July, 1921, to Holderrieth, and then sold out completely the following month. Hoderrieth sold the Hufsmith Lumber and Manufacturing Company to to J. W. Prince and C. E. Prince, who had been sawmilling earlier at New Caney, in May, 1923, for $6,100 in cash and notes.
