Missing Bridge Found On Farm In Plymouth County
The Plymouth county mining bridge has been uncovered but supervisors will decide next week on action against the farmer who moved it. The 16 foot structure was relocated by a farmer who claimed it blocked his road and that the charge was not being fed. Sheriff Frank Scholer said the farmer’s identity was not released and that planks pilings and bolts were removed by him and his sons. Initial reports came from farmers Robert Eberhard and Dale Kreko, who struggle to reach fields due to the bridge. George Moritz of Kingsley chairs the supervisors with other members listed. Local residents Mr and Mrs Robert Kelley recently traveled from Hinton Iowa for a location trip. Social and Sunday clubs met with meals and games afterward.
