Ms. Mildred W. Absheir, for the Waller County Historical Commission, submitted a Data Form on the Boze sawmill to the East Texas Sawmill Data Base Project on August 8, 1993. The sawmill had a limited commissary, which made the community partially, at least, a mill town. The company store supplied people “with staple provisions.”Fetzer, Texas, was named for Miss Laura Fetzer, who encouraged lumbering and who disappeared mysteriously one day after boarding a Ft Worth-bound train. Miss Mildred Abshier has written that Fetzer's “social and economic life . . . revolved mainly about sawmilling and agricultural pursuits.” Allam and Henrietta Andrews helped to finance the establishment of the Fetzer sawmill, which was first operated by Gibson and Harvey. The next sawmiller of record was J. M. Cordell who operated a sawmill and ran a mill town with a commissary at Fetzer. A sawmill directory of 1915 that Cordell's plant had a circular sawmill, planing mill, edgers, trimmers, dry kilns, commissary, and a logging road.
