There were several other Saw
Mills and wood products companies in the area. Henry Baker
established a bedstead factory in 1859 on the east side of the
Notch Road. It later produced chair backs. In 1879,
Mason Dolloff started a bobbin and chair parts mill, which
operated until 1891. Mills were also operated by W.R. Park,
H.C. Bagley & Co. and there was a mill known as the Golden
Mill, which started to operate in 1890. When the Henrys
moved to Lincoln, in 1892, they leased an already operating
sawmill from G.E Dupee. This mill was needed to produce the
lumber for the new, large, mill being built by the Henrys, as well
as for lumber for the buildings in the new town.
Frank Hall
& Co. was operating a mill near the Flume House. In the
area were mills operated by F.W. Whitehouse and Charles
Burns. The Dodge Clothspin factory operated in Lincoln from
1906 to 1913.
Many other
small mills operated in the area, as well.
Very little
documentary evidence is known to have survived from these
companies. Any photographs, or other information you may
have, would be very helpful to as we try to record the full story
of logging in this area. Use the email link at the left to
