Caswell, Hannah Ann and Grant Hendricks. You can see the scars on Hannah's hands from the fire. Caswell and "Ann" are my great great great grandparents. Caswell ran the ferry across the Mckenzie River, Lane Co. Or from 1862 until he retired. His son Grant ran the ferry from his fathers retirement until 1897 when it was replaced with Hendricks bridge.
Fastened by two cables to a 40' high wire spanning the river. The ferry was kept at just the right angle to allow the current to push it to the other side. I have photo of Ferry if anyone is interested.
