Tall tales flew like the swirling sawdust at the busy sawmill of Arthur Stone, on Norwood Road. Possessing only two front teeth (he claimed to have been a boxer), the voluble sawyer regaled customers with stories of service in the Texas Rangers and the Marine Corps in World War I. Neighbors brought him their logs to be rough-sawed and bought his raw lumber for constructing innumerable local sheds. Stone claimed he sawed enough lumber each week to build a barn. The popular local figure died in 1987 at 90.
