English: Caption on image: Camp 32, Simpson Logging Co., Shelton, Wn. No. 21 PH Coll 516.3953 Sol G. Simpson and his family moved to Mason County in 1887, where Simpson worked laying ties and rails for the Port Blakely Mill Company's logging railroad. He formed S. G. Simpson Company in Matlock in 1890. Three of Simpson's brothers joined him in Mason County, and two of them worked for him.
