A. T. CROCKETT (See photograph on front cover page) Alma Thomas Crockett was born and raised in Tazewell County, Virginia, the date of his birth being July 29th, 1874. In 1893, when nineteen years of age, he secured his first job with W. M. Ritter as a laborer on the Shannon Branch tram road construction. Later he went to Brown's Creek and worked in the bridge gang. He then went to work for the C. L. Ritter Lumber Company on Clear Fork as a lumber hustler. Later he was promoted to the job of mill grader. He worked for the same organization at other places, his last job being that of inspector on the yard at Elk River. Mr. Crockett returned to the W. M. Ritter Lumber Company in 1911 as planing mill inspector at Lower Elk. Later he was put in charge of the dimension production in the Third Division. In 1914 he was promoted to the job of Superintendent at Hazel Creek and was transferred to Maben in 1916 in the same capacity. In 1918 he was again promoted to the job of Assistant Division Superintendent and in 1920 was made Division Superintendent in charge of the Second Division, which position he now fills. Mr. Crockett married Miss Lilly M. Sutherland in 1898, her grandfather, Henry Sutherland, having been one of the first settlers in Dickenson County, Virginia, where he went after the Civil War had resulted in the loss of his property in the Carolinas. They have a fine family of seven children: Carl, age 23; Lula (now Mrs. R. 0. Robey, of Maben), age 21; Ida, age 18; Virginia, age 16; William, age 12; Harford, age 8; and Edna, age 4. Mr. Crockett's years of service with the Company number twenty-two, so he will be a Senior Member of the Second Division Old Timer's Club. CUB BRANCH MILL—AN OLD-TIMER This was one of Mr. Ritter's first mills located on the N. & W. R. R. between Davy and Welch, W. Va. The picture was taken in the winter of 1899. The mill, a circular rig, is housed in the large building on the creek bank. It had a daily capacity of about 8000 feet B. M. The buildings in the foreground are the commissary and dwelling houses. On the far side of the creek is the horse tram road over which the logs were brought and dumped into the creek opposite the mill. two

“The Hardwood Bark” was a publication produced “for the employees of the W.M Ritter Lumber Co.” William McClellan Ritter (1864-1952) organized the company in 1901 and, from 1903 until 1926, the company operated on Hazel Creek in Swain County, North Carolina, before moving its operations to Nantahala. Published during the 1920s, the monthly newsletter typically ran to about 25 pages. “The Hardwood Bark” was filled with articles on the Ritter company and the timber industry, but also included local stories. The pages included in this collection were selected because they relate to communities within the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The town of Ritter was near the junction of Hazel Creek and the Little Tennessee River; a sawmill was built at Proctor, about four miles north of Ritter. The town of Ritter has long since been abandoned and Proctor is beneath the waters of Fontana Lake.
