Griffith Lumber Looses Sawmill in Fire-Woolwine

April 24, 2009

Griffith Lumber of Woolwine, VA experienced a devasting fire last evening, destroying all their sawmill and equipment. Immediately 40 people are out of work.

We pray for the Griffith family and all the employees effected. This is qoute from Griffith Lumber's website: Griffith Lumber was founded in 1933 in Woolwine, Virginia at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Earl Griffith began the business with an old sawmill and boiler. Earl's sons Bruce and Bill joined the business in 1972. Today, Griffith Lumber Company, Inc. is among the largest and most enduring employers in Patrick County, Virginia, and produces millions of board feet of lumber and millions of stacking sticks each year.
