🌲 Roots of Rex Lumber | Part 8: Water, Sun & Time

These photographs offer a glimpse at how different lumber production looked more than 60 years ago.

Water helped prepare logs before sawing, while sun and time played a role in curing stacks of oak lumber outdoors.

Today, advances in technology allow Rex Lumber to accomplish these processes far more efficiently, with greater control and precision than was possible generations ago.

One hundred years of Rex Lumber is not only a story of where we've been, but how we've continued to evolve.

🌲 There’s a new name in the family!

Beginning September 1, our sister company in Dothan, Alabama, Peak Renewables BioEnergy, will officially become Regent Renewables.

The Regent name reflects a commitment to responsible stewardship of renewable resources, relationships and the business entrusted to the company.

From all of us at Rex Lumber Brookhaven, congratulations to the Regent Renewables team on this exciting next chapter!

🌲 Roots of Rex Lumber | Part 7: Inside the Mill

Step inside Rex Lumber’s Graceville sawmill in June 1960.

These photographs capture an era when sawmill production relied heavily on skilled operators working directly alongside the machinery. The work was physical, hands-on and required experience at nearly every step.

Historical records note that production at the Graceville sawmill was approximately 70,000 board feet a day, a substantial output for a mill of that era.

The equipment has changed. The technology has changed. But for 100 years, people have remained at the heart of Rex Lumber.

🌲 Roots of Rex Lumber | Part 6: The Matriarch

Behind 100 years of Rex Lumber history is a family story, and few people witnessed more of it than Annie Camie McRae.

From the early lumber years with her husband, W.D., to watching their sons carry Rex Lumber into the next generation, Annie's lifetime spanned an extraordinary chapter of the McRae family story.

After W.D.'s death in 1949, Annie remained the family's matriarch for another four decades. Family recollections remember her for her quiet strength and gentleness, her generosity and common sense, and the importance she placed on keeping family close.

Her life was filled with the things that often don't make it into company histories: gardens and preserves, sewing and quilting, master pie baker, music, church, neighbors and family gatherings. Yet those are often the very things from which a lasting family legacy is built.

Annie lived from 1889 to 1990, reaching her 101st birthday and seeing the family business continue into new generations.

Today, as Rex Lumber celebrates its own century mark, her story reminds us that family owned is more than something written beneath a logo. It's a legacy carried from one generation to the next. 🌲

What does a successful Summer School at the like?

Eight graduates beginning new careers is a pretty great place to start. 🌲

This summer, students at the Rex Lumber Training Center spent time learning new skills, gaining hands-on experience and exploring opportunities within the lumber industry.

Now, eight of those graduates are beginning their careers at Rex Lumber Graceville.

We're excited to see the Training Center helping prepare the next generation for the workforce and grateful to everyone who helped make this year's program a success.

🌲 Roots of Rex Lumber | Part 5

The Great Depression challenged businesses across America, and Rex Lumber was no exception.

As banks failed and cash became difficult to obtain during the Great Depression, Doo-Ga-Loos helped employees purchase everyday necessities while the company weathered difficult times.

By March 8, 1937, Rex Lumber had returned to operating double shifts, and employees were once again being paid in cash at the end of every shift.

For nearly 100 years, resilience has been part of our story.

🌲 Roots of Rex Lumber | Part 4

Every great company is built on more than people and products. It is built on the investments that make growth possible.

In 1926, McRae Lumber & Manufacturing Company ordered a Vulcan 2-6-2 Prairie locomotive to strengthen its expanding railroad operation. Completed in 1927, this engine helped move timber from the forests to the mill, supporting the growth of what would become Rex Lumber.

Nearly 100 years later, this very locomotive still exists as Cliffside No. 110, preserving a remarkable piece of Rex Lumber's early history.

For railroad enthusiasts, it is a surviving steam locomotive. For us, it is another connection to our roots.
