Murry Hammond is working to produce Rusty Rails & Dusty Trails history newsletters on the following San Augustine County subjects. In general, I am looking for photographs to illustrate these histories, and surviving family stories to personalize them. If you have any pictures or stories on these old log railroads or sawmill life that you would be willing to let us copy for our publication, I'd love to speak with you by mail or e-mail or telephone. Contact: Murry Hammond (click for e-Mail) or call anytime at 818-653-4626.
Here are our needs:
Frost-Johnson Lumber Co. logging railroad, abandoned 1949. Operated a line of railroad to through San Augustine County, most notably through the community of Camp Worth.
Camp Worth, Texas. Logging camp of the Frost-Johnson Lumber Company established about 1928, and disbanded in 1949 when the area timber supply was depleted. I am looking for more stories of life at Camp Worth, and more class pictures (I have 1934 and 1935).
Thank you! |
