History
by Gil Hoffman:
In
early 1907 Joe K. McInnis, of Hattiesburg, MS, built a sawmill and logging
railroad at Hickory, Newton County. The financial backer of this operation
was the Ingram-Day Lumber Company, of Lyman, MS. Around 1908 McInnis got
into financial trouble and in August 1909 the Ingram-Day Lumber Company took
over the operation.
On
June 1, 1910 The Ingram-Day Lumber Company sold the Hooks timber to E. J.
Gallagher, of Meridian, Miss. About the same time the McInnis mill was
leased to W. B. Hooks, of Forest, MS. Hooks
and Gallagher continued the operation in partnership.
