Thank you to Donna Bryan Whitehill, who shared this photograph of her grandfather and two other men atop the Trail Creek Bridge north of Denmark, Kansas not far from the bridge I featured in this week's blog. She knows he helped build this one and believes he helped build the double arch bridge featured this week. Not many stone bridges in the sandy loan country where I was raised and Isaac B. Werner staked his claims, but our ancestors used what they had available, and what beautiful bridges those men in north central Kansas built with the available limestone.
Be sure to scroll down to read this week's blog about the South Fork Spillman Creek Double Arch Bridge.

My great grandfather John Louis Larsen, is on the far left. He lived in Denmark, KS then Lincoln, KS. His family immigrated from Denmark, EU. around 1882.
Donna, thank you so much for sharing the photo and information about your great grandfather.
