Thursday, March 1, 1973

May we never again ask for identification of a picture in the paper. It gets too complicated. At least the big log picture did.

Bob Hall’s barn was on the Hall Place between the Hall House and Merritt Kellison’s house in Hillsboro, says Henry McNeel. The bridge that was broken was the old Seebert bridge, opposite the steel graveyard.

Monk Small says Wiz McClintic, 50 years ago, told his father the big log – it measured out 1,900 board feet – was a big poplar cut on the McClintic land, the people are the same Mike Cutlip, Bill Adkison and Henry Miller, but it is the McClintic Barn, and it was a bridge up Swago someplace that broke down.

The moral is, write names and dates on the back of all pictures.

Post Offices Closed

The Beard post office is being discontinued as of February 28, as Postmaster C.M. Dorman reached retirement age. The post office was established in 1901.
