    Caption - Edd Grubaugh of the Richwood District between Ozark and Nixa is photographed around 1908-09 just after he has crossed Finley Creek near the Ozark Mill. Behind him is a portion of the Frisco Railroad bridge. We are looking northwest. Also barely visible is the 1860s covered bridge which was washed away in 1909.

    Hard to believe, but the records states that the grain mill dates back to 1833.

    Must have been Indians around that area back then.
    :eek: :sick:
