My father was Frank, your cousin. I graduated from Bridgeport High in 1941. I am back in Okla. after being gone about 70 some years. The last I seen you was in Artesia,CA at my Folks place. If you see this, I say Hi, and hope you are well. It is good to be back in Ok. and I have a place on Lake Eufaula and hope to spend the rest of my days here. Take care and good Luck.

We were the Johnson family that lived there from 1920"s to about 1972. The last one to leave was my grandmother Nellie. Maybe I'll visit some day Sad to know hardly any one is around.

I believe the floor connecting to the kitchen from the outside is caving in, was very difficult to get to the piano. And Bridgeport has some very nice people; they let us photograph without any trouble.

Just to the east of the train bridge, you can see the pillars on the south bank among some tall, mature trees the suspension supports of the old toll bridge are still standing.

My family is from Bridgeport and we are having a family reunion this 4th of July, 2010. One of the acitivites we have planned is to drive there and see what was left behind. as I was watching your pictures I tried to recognize as much as I could, however, sadly I was so young when we moved to OKC. Great job on this town. This is absolutely amazing. My family is from Bridgeport and we are having a family reunion this 4th of July, 2010.

I see what may be a railroad bridge pretty much straight north of Bridgeport, and there is a road that follows the river on the north bank to just east of the RR crossing, and looks like there may have been a road bridge there. But other things I've read indicate that the toll bridge was quite a ways east down the river, just west of the long pony truss Rt 66 bridge. Do you know?

I read that it actually washed away twice with the river, and they just never rebuilt it a third time. But I can't remember where I read that and if it was a reliable source....
