A large group of Maryland Lumber Company workers beside the train tracks near the Greenbrier River at Denmar, W.Va. in May 1916. This large band mill operated from 1910 until 1918 when the town and mill site were sold to the State of West Virginia for the proposed tuberculosis sanitarium. The remaining land owned by the company now makes up Calvin Price State Forest and part of Watoga State Park. The photograph was found in the Otto and Olive Hannah House at Riverside, Marlinton, W.Va. (Preserving Pocahontas Archives, Courtesy of Melinda Cutlip; ID: PHP007931)
