Pine Camp

[ logging camp ]  Logging camp for Weaver Loughridge Lumber Company. The camp was located in the north central boundry of Taylor County, east of Eridu. The company moved in camp buildings mounted on railcars after building a spur rail line from the South Georgia Railroad. 

Henry McHargue was an engineer on the log train that carried logs into the mill of the Taylor County Lumber Company at Springdale. On the night of Sept 18, 1925 the whole mill was destroyed by fire, including the final load of logs which he had brought in late the afternoon before. The total population of the town was left jobless. Later he worked for Weaver-Loughridge Lumber Company with a move to Pine Camp in the northwest section of the county.
