William Theodore (W. T.) Block was born in Port Neches July 29, 1920, the son of W. T. "Will" Block, Sr. and Sarah Jane Sweeney. He was in the anti-aircraft artillery corps of the U. S. Army early during WW II, and met his first wife, Maria Elisabeth Kothe in Germany shortly after the end of the war. They settled in Nederland, Texas in 1947, where Block became assistant postmaster until 1972, when he was transferred to postmaster at Orange, Texas. He retired from there in 1973 and took over as director of the campus post office at Lamar University where he remained for the next ten years. He retired a second time in 1983.
Block earned his Master's Degree in History from Lamar University and authored a number of books, including Sour Lake, Texas: From Mud Baths to Millionaires, Cotton Bales, Keelboats, and Sternwheelers: A History of The Sabine River and Trinity River Cotton Trades and Early Sawmill Towns of The Louisiana-Texas Borderlands .
After losing his first wife in 1992, W. T. remarried in 1996 to Helga Woods, and continues to be active researching and writing about the history of Texas. This collection consists of some of the manuscript chapters from his book "East Texas Mill Towns and Ghost Towns" which includes information about sawmills, tram roads and logging camps in East Texas. There are also manuscripts about Louisiana sawmills.
