Rumors of this bridges' demise were greatly exaggerated. The bridge has been retained and is open again.

I have an ancestor who in 1799 was supposedly buried on an island at the mouth of 12 Mile Creek and the Ohio River. I have heard that the island is no longer there, having been swept away during a flood. Do you have any information about this island and was there a cemetery located there? Thanks for any information you may have.
