History
by Gil Hoffman:
The
Anderson Lumber Company, composed of John and Richard Anderson, of
Ellisville, MS (sons of the late sawmill owner, Isacc Anderson), purchased
the mill site of the Perry-Fraser Lumber Company near Ellisville in
September 1917. They built a sawmill on this site with a 25,000 feet per day
cutting capacity.
