Ginny This is in response to your Geiger posting. In Dummy Lines through the Longleaf , Gilbert H. Hoffman, I came across the following: "....on September 26, 1910, for $486,000 paid at public auction, the Great Southern Lumber Company bought back all of its lands and logging equipment previously sold to Andrews. But the Great Southern had no intention of reopening the Pearlhaven mill. On December 26, 1910, the mill and all remaining equipment, plus the town of Pearlhaven, were sold to John M. Geiger of Buffalo, New York, for $110,000". This book deals the history of the lumber industry in southwest Mississippi.
