F. T. Fisher bought from the First National Bank a complete sawmill and planing mill, located about one and a half miles from San Augustine. The next year he bought the old J. H. Bland & G. B. Fisher sawmill and planing mill about one-half mile to the south.
Ernest Nash, an oldtime area resident, recalled that the Fisher mills operated until the 1950s and that Fisher Lumber Company provided tenant housing.
L. J. Edwards and C. G. Law sold their sawmill and planing mill located about one and one-half miles southwest of San Augustine in 1936 to Fisher Lumber Company.
On 30 March 1948, the Sturgis Lumber Company, with plants at Hemphill and Jasper, sold to M. L. Spinks the old Fisher Lumber Company sawmill and planing mill, which Sturgis Lumber had bought eighteen days earlier.
