The Santa Fe System Circular No. 2090, March 1904, notes Parminter's mill at Leeton.
Webb's Handbook of Texas does not mention Parminter's mill or the Bleakwood Lumber Company's 30,000-foot mill of 1905 to 1907, but only that D. J. Lee and his Lee-Irvine Sawmill Company, founded in 1901 at Leeton, was sold to Bean Lumber Company in 1902, which continued to mill lumber until 1928. The publications documenting Parminter and Bleakwood Lumber do not list Lee-Irvine or Bean Lumber at Leeton/Bon Ami; the reverse is true.
Bon Ami was named in honor of a Southwest Louisiana town of the same name by R.J. Cooper, the postmaster of Leeton, in 1902. Leeton was Bon Ami's original name.
