Biographical Note
Accompanying note: This ferry was established in about 1872 by Washington L. Irvine, who operated a store near here. This picture has been viewed by many old residents of the area, some dating [back] to 1885, and they are unable to identify any of the persons in the picture. The Commissioners of Lafayette County opened a road from the ferry to Mayo in 1881, and the ground in the background appears to have been recently worked, giving some credence to dating this picture from 1881 to 1882. The man holding the guide pole is thought to be W. L. Irvine.
