Osage Creek CR 306 Bridge
Drove across this bridge several times back in the 1970s, 1980s' and 1990s. Sure hate to see it gone. My grandmother, Bessie Justina (Plumlee) Houp, was baptised in the Osage Creek in the early 1900s. Does anyone have a photograph of this old bridge? When was the exact date it collasped and closed? Need newspaper account of this bridge tragedy.
