Posted on: Franklin Co. Ms Queries Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ms/Franklin/726 Surname: ------------------------- Hi folks! I am currently researching the sawmills and logging railroads that existed in Mississippi, including Franklin Co., from 1880 to about 1940. I am looking for anyone who might jave worked for such a company. I am also looking for anyone who might have old photos of these sawmills, log trains, log camps, and logging operations. I am especially interested in the Homochitto Lumber Co., Monroe Lbr. Co., and Foster Creek Lbr. & Mfg. Co. Any help is GREATLY appreciated! Tony Howe

I have a book called 'Dummy Lines Through the Longleaf'.. It has a fair amount of info in it about the lumber companies in southwest ms. in that time frame. If I can help let me know. I also am interested in these things. sincerely, Clay E.
