In “Lumber Mills of Texas,” Southern Industrial and Lumber Review reported that G. W. Cavin was operating a sawmill at Dalmont, either in Harris or Liberty County, in 1906.
The Southern Industrial and Lumber Review in March 1909 reported that George W. Cavin sold his sawmills in Nacogdoches and Angelina counties for $50,000 and paid $10,000 for the Kirbyville mill.

[Cavin owned mills at Nivac Switch and Dalmont in Nacogdoches County and a sawmill at Warsaw in Angelina County. The information above is partially inaccurate. He sold out his interest in the Cushing mill by 1907, though he still may have had the small mill at Dalmont. He had owned a mill at Kirbyville since 1906.
