On The Passing Of Sawdust Piles

McIntosh is located nearly in the center of Liberty County. At least the portion of Liberty County which remains outside of the Ft. Stewart reservation. From the top of Mt.McIntosh if you look to the North East towards the sprawling concrete and asphalt plants presently resting there, that is the location of the once huge mill or at least the main mill as there were two other mills in McIntosh. The mill complex was all of what comprised the Fraser Lumber Company. It was one of the most elaborate sawmill and planer mill operations in the south east just after the end of WWII. The mill was the economic engine that supported my family as well as most of the rest of those living in the community. A lost and mostly forgotten town now but it was my home and it was a very special place. It remains to me and the remaining natives indeed a very special place.
