A business which contributed much to the new town of Ray City, GA was the Luckie Lumber Company. It was a huge operation run by William F. Luckie and located about 1 mile north of town on the Georgia & Florida rail line.
Luckie sold the sawmill operation to the Clements Brothers some time around 1911.
Mr. Luckie was on the social scene in Berrien county:
