White Lumber Company was the first lumberyard in Marissa. It was started by Francis White in 1869 and was known as Marissa Station. The lumberyard was located across the railroad tracks, on the right, the site of the old Marissa Messenger Building. In 1879, Francis White sold the business to his nephew, James Francis White, who shortly thereafter teamed up with William McKee Lyons, and the firm of Lyons & White was established in 1880.
Sometime later, the lumberyard was moved to its present site on 116 West Church Street, Marissa. Business was conducted in an office behind the drug store, which was in the rear of the Hamilton House, located on the south part of the present Marissa Village Hall. White and Lyons also owned the drug store.
