William Henderson DeLoach

1829 - 1914  (85 years)

• Name	William Henderson DeLoach
  Birth	13 Dec 1829	Bulloch County, , , Georgia
  Gender	Male
  Death	14 Dec 1914
  Notes	In the 1870s, country miller William Henderson De Loach, of Kirby Springs, GA, invented a horse power that allowed him to thresh a farmer's grain on site, avoiding the need for the customer to bring the grain into town. He also developed a grist mill. When the equipment manufacturing business outstripped his milling business he and his sons moved to Atlanta and established W. H. De Loach & Sons; this was during or before 1875. The company seems to have incorporated in 1887 as De Loach Mill Manufacturing Co. At some point they began to manufacture sawmlls and related equipment. Alonzo A. DeLoach (W. H.'s son) received an 1890 sawmill patent, so it is likely they were already making sawmills by that time. After W. H. De Loach died in 1914, his sons relocated the business to South Bridgeport, AL, and by 1920 they were in Chattanooga, TN. We have no data after that time to indicate how long they survived.
