Over the
next decade, Thompson, along with his brothers and sons,
built additional, larger mills, expanding into Trinity County.
Thompson-Tucker Lumber Co. mills were located at Old Willard
(Woodlake) in 1890, Big Mill (1903-1923), and in 1922 the
Thompson Brothers reorganized as the Rock Creek Lumber Company.
