1902-____
August 28, 1901: "Commissioner Edwards was here this week looking after the Tire Creek bridge. A new bridge will be built on the old road." (Morning Register)
November 27, 1901: "A force of workmen under Mr. Striker are at work building a bridge across Tire Creek." (Morning Register)
December 19, 1901: "Last Monday John Cain was badly injured while helping to tear out the old Tire creek bridge near Point Lookout. The bridge spans a chasm that is about 75 feet deep. The workmen stood on the approaches to cut the old bridge away and as the bridge went down it partly carried away the approach on which Cain stood and he fell a distance of about 25 feet. If the whole approach had gone with the bridge Cain would have been killed. He was badly bruised up but it is thought no serious results will follow and that he will soon recover." (Morning Register)
February 15, 1902: "The Tire Creek bridge has a span of 66 feet. This bridge is completed with the exception of the covering which will be put on during the summer." (Morning Register)
February 16, 1911: "In the year of 1901 A.N. Striker built a covered bridge across Tire creek at a cost of $910.20, and the old board let the S. P. Co. knock that bridge down, and the people have got to ford as they used to forty years ago, and you must understand that was the third bridge that had been put across that stream and now what will the same bridge cost you with labor and material as high as it is today?"
