"Washington Parish, Louisiana History" by Janice M. Berfield,
1968 July 15, 2008
"History of Washington Parish" by Hon. Prentiss B. Carter
July 15, 2008
"The History of Bogalusa, The `Magic City' of Louisiana" by Amy Quick, The Louisiana Historical Quarterly, Vol. 29, No. 1, January 1946. The Louisiana Historical Society has this article online but you'll have to join the Louisiana Historical Society before viewing it (or check it out at the Washington Parish Library).
Who cut down the 1st
tree in Bogalusa? This is my transcription of his obituary: James Madison McLENDON / McCLENDON (b: May 11, 1848 - d: Aug 26, 1929; buried in Adams Cemetery) married Elizabeth "Sissy," ADAMS. He was 81 years old. James Madison McLendon, the man who
chopped down the first pine tree on the site of what is now the
thriving city of Bogalusa, has succumbed to Father Time. He passed
away at the home of his daughter, Miss Mary McLendon, in Adamstown,
Monday morning, at the ripe old age of 81. Elizabeth "Sissy," ADAMS McClendon (b: Aug. 10, 1866 - d: Feb. 28, 1957; buried in Adams Cemetery) was the daughter of Sherwood W. ADAMS and Alicia MANNING Adam. Louisiana Statewide Death Index,
1900-1949 about James Madison McLendon See James Madison McLENDON / McCLENDON and "Sissy" cemetery listings at ADAMS CEMETERY I, Washington Parish, LA and Adams Cemetery II, Washington Parish, LA. See my genealogy page. Bogalusa: The Magic City (The Birth -- And Growth -- Of A City) by Ginn and Williams. See The Daily News article about this book below on how it can be ordered. I ordered my through Barnes and Nobles Bookstore.
Ben Sellers cut the 1st (1908) and last (1938) log at the Great Southern Lumber Company Sawmill: "... (T)he mill would start at 9 o'clock on the morning of October 17, 1908. From the siren of the power house, at the appointed hour, came a mighty blast. Crowds gathered on the overhead runway in the mill from which could be seen every step in the manufacture of lumber.... There were many visitors, including newspaper men and representatives of trade journals, who came from different parts of the country to watch the spectacle. ... Ben Sellers had the honor of sawing the first log. ..." -- Bogalusa Story by C. W. GOODYEAR, page 99. "In April, 1938, the last of the Great Southern Lumber Company's virgin timber was manufactured into lumber in the Bogalusa sawmill. Ben Sellers cut the first log thirty years before and it was he who cut the last. The occasion was not a happy one. The few who gathered in the mill to watch the finish heard in the drone of the saws the death knell of a Goodyear lumber business that dated back sixty-two years to the days when Frank H. Goodyear made his start in Pennsylvania." -- Bogalusa Story by C. W. GOODYEAR, page 205. Do you have something that you want to contribute to this web site?

In Ponemah Cemetery (located on Louisiana Avenue about 1/2 mile east past Hwy. 21, and Louisiana Avenue), there are two (2) large Memorial Marker in what is called the "Sullivan Circle" memorializing "The Father" and "The Mother" of Bogalusa:

FEW WOMEN MEANT MORE TO HER FAMILY TO A GREAT INDUSTRY AND TO AN ENTIRE COMMUNITY THAN THE LIFE AND WORK OF THIS SWEET AND GRA - CIOUS LADY. SHE WAS A FINE SPIRIT OF GENTLE QUALITY AND ONE WHOSE LOVING DEEDS TIED HUMAN HEARTS TOGETHER. EVERY LIFE MUST END, BUT HAS SHE LIVED MORE YEARS SHE COULD HAVE HAD NO BIGGER HOLD UPON OUR HEARTS NOR COULD WE HAVE HAD A CLEARER APPRECIATION OF THE GREATNESS OF HER CHARACTER. THERE SHOULD BE THANKSGIVING FOR HAVING HAD HER LIFE AMONG US. AND THERE SHOULD BE SOLEMN DETERMINATION THAT THE THINGS FOR WHICH SHE STOOD SHALL BE MAINTAINED. THEREBY SHALL WE PROVE WORTHY OF HER FRIENDSHIP. REAR TO HER A FINER MONUMENT THAN CAN BE BUILT IN MARBLE AND BE BETTER MEN AND WOMEN FOR HAVING KNOWN HER.

Uncle Ed could have a different last name and the choice of postcards, N. O. G. N. R. R. Shops, may indicate he was doing some sales work and went on to New Orleans after visiting Bogalusa:
