Down through the years, family names pick up associations. In the Appalachian region of Maryland, West Virginia and Pennsylvania, the name Sisler is synonymous with lumber. Sisler Lumber was born when Glenn Sisler and his brother Ray bought a couple horses and a portable saw mill. There was a market for blocking lumber in the steel mills of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio and Sisler Lumber was off and running. Today, a new generation of Sister’s are at the helm and they are selling premium grade hardwoods to furniture makers and veneer logs and hardwoods to moulding manufacturers. Industrial grade lumber goes to pallet companies, coal mines and railroads, while blocking lumber is still being sold to the steel mills
