| Lindsey
Springs Hunting Club encompasses the area where one of the first
logging camps in the Diboll area was established. In 1898, T.L.L.
Temple purchased 8,000 acres of timberland which contained a flowing
spring. By 1900, Lindsey Springs (named for Angelina County Treasurer
Thomas J. Lindsey), had a population of 110 people with a commissary
store, school, church and about 25 clapboard houses. Eventually
trains took over the work of hauling logs to the sawmill. By 1906
however, most of the manageable timber around Lindsey Springs had
been cut and the logging camp ceased to exist. |
