I have several old correspondance/contract letters between Foster Creek Lumber Company of Dayton, Miss. and my great grandfather, John H. Bynum, who owned the land Foster Creek wanted to put a railway through. The two letters I can put my hands on right now are dated Dec. 8, 1903 and Mar. 8th 1904, respectively. One in particular mentions the building of a ... 'logging railway on or through any part of the land owned by the said John H. Bynum'. I would be happy to share what I have.

Dayton, mentioned in the message below, is now Crosby, MS in Amite Co. The town was started by David Day when the first railroad came through. It was renamed when it was sold to Mr. Crosby.
