White Oaks B & L Co.

The White Oaks building and Lumber Company was located on the North East section of White Oaks just East of the No Scum allowed bar location. Press image to see on Interactive Map. Mordecai McPherson in 1888 purchased a lot just East of Bonnell’s lumber yard. 2 sawmills working almost side by side.

Joseph Gumm later become the manager, not owner as I had always thought. And all 4 of the eldest Gumm brothers employed by the company. Prior to the Gumm management, it was owned and operated by Edward Bonnell in 1891
