Pat: I do not believe that any records of this business have survived. Sawmills were not required to report accidents to anyone at this time. Have you looked through the back files of the Lonoke, AR Democrat. They begin in 1873. You can see this file at the Arkansas History Commission and State Archives. You might also check through the Lonoke County "County Court Records" to see if there was an inquest when this man died. These records are at the courthouse in Lonoke. Russell P.

Hello, If anyone has information about this sawmill and where they may have kept their files on fatal accidents it would be nice to know. My great grandfather, William Jefferson Reed(Jeff) died on the job there sometime between 1894-1900. Many attempts have been made to find him on a death index in order to obtain burial information and date. Thank you very much for any leads or help in advance.
