History by Tony Howe: On Nov. 29, 1905, the Bolivar Land & Timber Co. purchased 11469 acres of timber from W. J. Crawford. This timber was located east of O’Reilly, on the Y&MV. It appears that much of this timber was eventually sold to the Peavine Cooperage Co. and Interstate Cooperage Co. The sawmill and logging railroad of Bolivar Land & Timber was sold to R. S. Tennant of Terre Haute, IN on April 13, 1907. Y&MV rail lease for railroad running east from near O’Reilly dated July 15, 1906.
