Forty Men Dead In Licking River Bridge Disaster
The collapsed false work of a Covington to Newport bridge on the Licking River killed about thirty workers, with sixteen bodies recovered and thirty yet missing. Baird Bros of Wittsburg built the false work. Kenton and Campbell County Bridge Company oversaw the project. The accident, blamed on heavy rains and insufficient braces, occurred as forty foot piles and sixty foot false work gave way, drowning and crushing workers as spectators watched. Authorities opened inquests in Covington and Newport and the river removal began to recover bodies.
