I have to refute county records and hours of research, i greatly doubt that the 2nd Bridge was known as the 'Fuller Ford Bridge.'

Dr. Fuller & his Wife owned what is well known as 'The Fuller Place' west of Magazine, that farm was on the east bank of Scott Creek. The ford there was what was known as the Fuller Ford, years ago there was a thru truss bridge there over Scott Creek some 100 yards downstream of the present hwy. 10 bridge.

Have determined that long ago black and white photo was indeed taken at the south portal of this bridge and have added it here.

I made the june 12, 2010 post here, don't know why it shows 'anonymous.' Allow me to state this again, i am certain the info posted here is wrong. This bridge was not dismantled in 1961, rather i believe that is the year it was built. I was born in 1963 and this is the only bridge i knew across the Petit Jean on hwy. 23 south, it was replaced/upgraded in the 80's.

I know we have numerous photos of differernt style bridges, but i would like to see written or drawn defanitions of what defines bridge styles/designs.

I currently have 1 more Magazine bridge photo to post, it is from the deck looking out a portal. It looks to be from 100 years ago or more and is not labeled. At this time i have not been able to discern if it is the 1st bridge or Kilburn bridge but will try to determine soon and post it here.

In photo #1 with the timber removed from hillside the roadbed and original immediate left from south portal can be seen.
