Rising waters of Lake Texoma inundated the bridge in 1944 before it could be removed.  The truss later collapsed during a storm.  Debris remains in the lake just off the Flowing Wells Resort boat ramp.

Mrs. D W Covey was killed instantly when she jumped from a wagon on the road from Hagerman to Flowing Wells.  At a place in the road where the new concrete bridge is being put in Mr. Covey attempted to drive around a culvert which had been completed.  In doing so the horses jolted and he was thrown to the ground.  Mrs. Covey jumped and fell under the wagon and was crushed to death.

The concrete work through Mineral Bottom at the Flowing Well has been completed.  The contractors have also finished moving the big bridge over its new piers in the new location of the road and it was opened for traffic Sunday. 

Autos from every section of the county were thick on the good roads and it kept we fellows here in the sticks jumping sideways to keep from being run over.  The concrete work through the bottom on the Sadler road north of the Draper farm has also been completed and Gordonville is in touch with every section of the county and in every direction over the good roads system.

A sudden squall on the Big Mineral Arm of Lake Texoma capsized a small fishing boat and drowned two of the three men aboard.  According to the survivor's account of the drownings, they had gone in the outboard motor boat to the old Flowing Wells iron bridge standing in the lake some distance from the east shore of Big Mineral.

New Barge for Texoma Fisherman

At Flowing Wells, now unused duck blinds are being pulled together and assembled in an octagon shape over a fine crappie hole, the sunken Flowing Wells Bridge.  The outside walls will be ship-lapped, a canvas tarp will form the top, and electric lights will be added.  Forty fishermen will be able to drop their lines through an open center when the barge is completed.
