June 17, 1904: “At Hyland's mill above Marcola, last Thursday. Pearl, the seven-year-old daughter of Jack Wheeler, was pushed from the bridge into the mill race, by her companion and drowned. The children had been playmates for some time and quarreled occasionally but it is not thought the child acted maliciously. No one else was near at the time.” (The West)
August 11, 1906: "Yesterday through the agency of H. C. Mahon of this city the Hyland Bros. Ernest E., Wilbur H., and Ira D. Hyland, disposed of their sawmill and 2300 acres of timber land at Hyland near Mabel, the plant and holdings being transferred to T. R. Yerger of Los Angeles.
Mr. Yerger arrived in Eugene Wednesday and was driven out to Hyland by Mr. Mahon, returning Wednesday evening. All day Thursday was spent in getting together and the deal was finally closed Thursday morning the purchase price being $60,000.
The Hyland mill has a capacity of 40,000 feet daily and has a market for all of its product. The 2300 acres of timber included in the deal is only a portion of their holdings, the boys still having in possession several thousand acres of valuable timber besides the home place, an abundance of stock and range, 40 acres of hops and other valuable property in Lane. The mill and timber just sold is part of the property of the original Amos D. Hyland estate which came into their hands at his death.
Mr. Yerger, who is stopping at the Gross was interviewed by a Register reporter yesterday and stated that he would take possession of the property some time next week. He will bring his family to Eugene and make this his headquarters. He is an experienced lumberman, having followed the business in the east.
The Hyland mill is a good property and the successful purchaser will continue the business along the same line, selling in the same markets as his predecessors.
The Hyland Bros. who are thoroughly business, will find plenty to keep them busy looking after their big interests they still retain in this county.
E. E. Hyland, who was here Thursday and yesterday closing the deals, returned home last evening." (Morning Register)
