Markham was later renamed to Laclede, after a French Engineer that worked for the Northern Railroad. In 1901 Andy Christenson built a sawmill, employing 100 men. The town of Laclede started growing around the mill. In 1909 AC white bought the Laclede mill and hired another 100 men to build a railroad up Riley Creek to harvest new timber resources. The town continued to grow quickly until August 17, 1922 when the mill and burned down. Instead of rebuilding the mill in Laclede, White built the mill 10 miles upstream in Dover.
