Southern Loggin’ Time magazine Associate Editor Jay Donnell travels to Jamestown, South Carolina to visit Nole Boys Logging. There have been many stories written about family oriented logging businesses, but it’s been quite a while since Southern Loggin’ Times has come across a company with as many family ties as Nole Boys Logging. Albert Nole, Sr. started the business in 1956 and today his three sons, Otis Albert “Sport” Nole, Albert “Stoney” Nole, Jr. and Alden “Master” Nole own the company together. When the trio took over the business in 2002, the business was 100% family oriented with all seven employees either being brothers, nephews or cousins on one crew. Nole Boys Logging has expanded quite a bit since they took over 15 years ago. Today, there are two crews composed of 22 employees, including truck drivers.
