Comment

Homer Sessions' sawmill at Arp had a daily cutting capacity of 40,000 feet. It was a “big mill” with a commissary, tenant houses, and a planer. The Smith County records reveal that Homer Sessions had bought land in the Easton Gee League in 1937 and that his operation was located about one mile southwest of Arp. In 1931, according to the Cherokee County History, Sessions opened the Arp Lumber Company at Arp, Texas, and a lumber yard at nearby Troup, Texas.
