History by Gil Hoffman and Tony Howe: The Stover Lumber Company operated a band mill of 50,000 feet daily cutting capacity at Wilson, on the Blodgett branch of the Gulf, Mobile & Northern Railroad. The company also operated a mill in the city of Mobile, but it appears that no logging railroad was operated in connection to the Mobile mill.
