| Millard Ray Latta (center) and DeRay Bryan (leaning on the bridge). The young woman behind Millard Ray might be DeRay's sister Marie. DeRay and Marie were my father's sisters. |

After publishing the post, I found the three more photos above and determined that they were probably taken on the same day. These photos were probably taken sometime before the middle of 1918. Joe and Millard Ray were both teachers in Baylor County during the 1917-1918 school year.
The bridge is not named, but described as a bridge over the Brazos and a bridge near Seymour.

I feel like it was a bridge before the one I remember in my youth of the 50’s and sixties. It was just South West of Seymour.
ReplyDeleteI think you are correct. I found a bridge mentioned in newspapers as early as 1901.
