Alka Davis and Bill Reffett with harvested tree, 1930s
Alka (Alamander) Davis and Bill (William) Reffett were partners in a lumber company that operated in Jobe Turner Branch at Eastern, Kentucky, on Right Beaver in the 1930s. Alka Davis (standing on the left) was only about 5' 6" tall, so the two-man cross cut saw was probably close to six feet in length; making the tree's circumference somewhere close to 18 feet.

Picture 1: Floyd Davis, plowing with the mule Jim in about 1971. This picture was taken in the garden beside his house, just below the old Pyramid Post Office
Picture 2: Floyd Davis with a truck he used to haul logs from Turner Branch at Eastern to Knevoa, West Virginia. Davis said he could make two trips per day if he hauled dark-to-dark. Today, the trip takes about an hour. This picture was taken in the late 1930s, probably in Job Turner Branch.
