Foreman & Brother
Foreman & Brother were reported to be cutting 50,000 feet daily at Big Sandy in 1893.
County records reveal that Foreman & Brother was the operation of John M. Forman, who operated before 1893 Forman & Co. One example from 1892 is a deed from the Fyffe family, who sold to Forman all the sawtimber on the waters of the Big Sandy in the Smith survey.
