NOTES
Of the 21 men in the photograph only 8 are named on the back of the photograph. There also is no
indication which of the men in the photograph are the ones named.
I also cannot find #8 Duffy Fagan or anyone named Duffy in 1900 when the bridge was built. I'm sure it
was probably a nickname. The most likely cantidate is Marion Fagan b: 1840 and in 1900 living in
Danville, Illinois which was only 13 miles from Perrysville, Indiana, he was an electrician, but I have
nothing to prove this.
