I am a former resident of Thayer MO and as a teenager hung out at the old bridge, during this time the bridge was open to trafic, but soon closed due to damages to the bridge. My Great Grandfather, Andrew Jackson, was an officer of the law and charged people .05 to cross by walking and .10 to cross on horse back. This occured soon after the bridge opened.
