The main plant was in Savannah, GA, and sawmills in Ridgeland, SC, and Switzerland, SC. After his death in 1941, his wife Nellie sold his interest in the company for approximately $23,000. His son, Lacy, worked after school and during vacations in his father's fields and at his sawmills, which would be set up out in the woods where the timber was to be harvested. By his college years, Lacy had become an accomplished sawyer, second only in ability to his father, who was renowned for his skill in sawing up timber quickly and accurately.
