EVANS FERRY
Evans Creek
May 24, 1950: "Lizzie Hatch spoke of the old live oak tree on Evans creek and the covered bridge which stood beside it from 1868 to 1912. They then repeated Mark Whipple's story of crossing the bridge one dark night. It was when he first came to Woodville as a young man. He was returning from town on that particular night and he had forgotten the lard pail and candle lantern he usually carried. In passing through the dark bridge he stumbled over a cow. She arose with a bellowing protest and Mark said he ran some distance while telling himself it was only a cow.." (Medford Mail Tribune)
