Chronister Lumber engine No. 6 at Wildhurst, 1937.
 
 
 
 
Wanted: Information on Wildhurst and the Chronister Lumber Co.
   
 

Murry Hammond is working to produce a Rusty Rails & Dusty Trails history newsletter on the community of Wildhurst, Texas and the Chronister Lumber Company logging railroad, sawmill town, and logging camps. I am looking for photographs to illustrate the history, and surviving family stories to personalize it. If you have any stories regarding life around the Chronister company, I'd love to speak with you by telephone, mail or e-mail.

Contact Murry Hammond by e-Mail or call anytime at 818-653-4626. Thank you!
