Overboard
As the
story has been passed down.........
One afternoon it was decided
to finally replace the planking on the Glens
Bridge. Unable to complete it that day the
workers went home leaving part of the bridge
planking torn up but not replaced. They failed
to place barricades or they had been removed,
no one knows.
That night, after dark,
unaware of the danger, a horse and buggy came
trotting into the open end of the bridge. The
horse and buggy fell through but instead of
the horse falling into the river he was
somehow caught onto the bridge where he
dangled until morning. The next morning the
contractor was summoned and the horse was
hoisted back up onto the bridge with a rope.
The occupants, Mr. & Mrs. C. A. Walls,
were never seen alive nor were they found deceased.
