Surnames: Hardaway/ Ray Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Xd.2ADE/1540 Message Board Post: My double great uncle TJ Mathis was a bridge engineer for Hardaway Co thru most of his life. He lived in Rome, GA. I know that he built some bridges in NC, the 9th St bridge in Rome, GA, a bridge at Tallulah Falls, GA and that Hardaway let him build a bridge for a company from Birmingham, AL, in Rogers, AR. What I want to know is this company still in buisiness if not are there any records from them that I might find out more bridges that he built. TJ died in 1936 and his granddaughter has a letter from Frederick C. Ray written 13 March 1931. His family has photos of a few of the bridges that he built but we have no idea where they were built. We just got a photo of the bridge he built in Rogers, AR, and a bio about it. Any info that anyone can give me will be greatly appreciated.
