1841.--Contract with John Camp, for a covered bridge of two spans of 60 feet each, across Rock creek, at Horner's mill, on the Taneytown road--dated January 4, 1841; price $2,000. Commissioners, Daniel Diehl, Joseph J. Kuhn and William Douglass. This bridge was swept away by a flood about a year ago, and has since been replaced by another of the same character, on foundations several feet higher.(see also 1897 article)
The present structure at Barlow is a girder bridge of two fifty-five foot spans. It was built more than 70 years ago, according to the Commissioners. At one time 52 years ago, the structure was washed away from its moorings and carried on a much-swollen Rock Creek for a distance of half a mile. It was brought back; a few additions were made and only slight repairs have been made since that time. The bridge now has a roadway 16 feet wide. This is to be increased to 20 feet and all abutments and piles are to be reinforced with concrete
We hear that Horner's Dam, on Rock creek, five miles south of Gettysburg, was broken on Friday night,[February 12] and about 165 feet of the breast carried away. The new county bridge (occupying the place of one destroyed by a similar flood a few years ago) escaped without damage except a slight break in the pier supporting the centre. Mr. Henry Schriver lost 150 panels of post and rail fence along the creek by the heavy ice floating against it, and some of the roads were blocked.
The County Commissioneres on Thursday awarded the following contracts: …to Gilbert & Smith … For the superstructure of a low truss iron bridge on Plum Run, on the Gettysburg and Taneytown road,…the stone work to Nelson Collins … The building at the Alms House was awarded John F. Socks … Mr. Jacob Hoke, author of "The Great Invasion," has also gotten up "A Guide to the Battlefield of Gettysburg, with Illustrations and Maps,"
The house was built about 50 years ago on the site of a smaller house which contained a store operated by Josephus Mills. A son, Abner S. Mills, who later operated a store in Gettysburg, erected the building, and conducted a store in it until about 1911, when it was taken over by John Black. Mr. Black had a store there for four years.
