History by Gil Hoffman: The
Baur Lumber Company was a partnership composed of Emil Baur, of Eton,
Indiana, and George B. Young. In addition to operating a sawmill at Millview,
the company operated a planing mill in Hattiesburg, Perry County. The
planing mill in Hattiesburg was purchased in a partially burned condition on
April 29, 1902, from the Charles & Whitcomb Lumber Company. Both mills
and timber in Harrison County were sold to the Latimer-Joyce Lumber Company
on May 16, 1904, for $60,000. |
