This business was the only sawmiller listed as a manufacturer of lumber at Libby in the Reference Book of the Lumbermen's Credit Association, January 1907. It would have been located northeast of Appleby and south of Garrison.
The original plant was the Henry Matlock sawmill plant located northeast of Linn Flat. A. Donegan bought it and then sold the plant to Bowden-Meador, which transferred it to the Libby area. Ball-Gose Lumber Company of St Louis bought its dressed lumber. Bowden-Meador paid its debts to Henderson Iron Works by selling it more than three hundred thousand feet of lumber. The firm disappears after 1907 from newspaper and trade journal articles.
