Scandia Ferry Across the Republican River History
Notes from Warren Nelson recount a 1870 contract with A B Whiting for a Scandia ferry costing about 700 dollars. The ferry used a steel cable, anchor posts, a cottonwood tree, pulleys, and poles or hand spikes to move loads. It faced high water in 1872, a sandbar entanglement in 1872, a wagon bridge proposal, toll collector George Lembke in the late 1870s, and floods that led to a replacement bridge completed in 1882.
