Letter: When the footbridge at Sulphur Well broke

Pat Williams Fraley writes:
When my dad, Oakley Williams, was a young man, this was a walking bridge over the river. One day when he and a friend were walking across the bridge to go to the dance on the other side. The bridge broke, and they landed in the river. Thank God there was not a lot of water, although it covered the rocks. They swam out. --Patty

Pat, thank you for sharing your father's experience! That swinging bridge fall is legend.
