IT BECAME BIG BUSINESS , WORKING MORE PEOPLE THAN ANY LABOR SOURCE , OTHER THAN FARMING . IT SERVED THE TWO FOLD PURPOSE OF CLEARING THE LAND AND FURNISHING LUMBER FOR HOUSES , BARNS AND OUTBUILDINGS ON NEARLY EVERY FORTY ACRES IN THE COMMUNITY . SINCE IT WAS THE ONLY SAWMILL IN THE AREA , IT FURNISHED LUMBER FOR OTHER COMMUNITIES AS WELL.
