Samuel KNOX, of Franklin County, Ga., as an individual undertaking, at a cost of $10,000. Col. BOWMAN, of elberton, Ga., was the architect, and Col. Clark MASON was foreman of the work on one end of the bridge, and Judge Noah LOONEY was foreman on the other. [There is more information on the bridge and a picture, if anyone is interested. It was a toll bridge for many years but was bought by the two states of GA and SC and made a free bridge on Hwy. 59. It was still there in 1933 when the book was written, I don't think it is still standing.] p. 330-1 History of Hartwell Schools, lists teachers: Martin V. LOONEY and wife in 1873. Martin V.
