Photograph of eleven men standing in front of the Deweyville, Texas Sawmill.

All of the men are wearing button-up shirts and some are wearing jackets, ties, vests, sweaters, boots and hats.

There are piles of lumber, buildings, and small bridges with telephone poles and wires behind them.

Typed across the top of the mat is, “DEWEYVILLE SAWMILL - The original Deweyville sawmill was built in 1898, by Sabine Tram Co. and sold to Peavy Moore in 1918. The Newton Lumber Co. bought it in 1942. It was destroyed by fire in 1944.”
