Scott, Temple, Sheets Bros, and Queen City Lbr Co
According to John D. Hanes, the lumber companies of Ab Scott, T. L. L. Temple, Sheets Brothers, and Queen City Lumber, all sawmilling enterprises located at Atlanta, operated a joint tram logging road in Cass County during the latter 1880s. Since Frank Grigsby was a partner of Temple and Scott, this tram may have been the East Texas Transportation Company that Grigsby sold to Ed Rand and H. J. Allen in 1891 for $36,000.
