Selma and Dallas County are wood-products producers. Pine is plentiful, but we produce some hardwoods too. Here is a stack of logs at Miller Lumber Company. Several of my relatives were employed at the old Schuer-Miller Lumber Company a century ago, including my grandfather, great-grandfather (who moved here from Ohio) and some great-uncles. In fact, my grandparents met through the family connections here. After Great-Grandfather died from pneumonia in 1912 (during the same week that the Titanic sank), most of my grandmother's family returned to Ohio, while she stayed Down South to marry the handsome, young man who had been her father's supervisor. (The rest is history!)
