The commissioners were J. S. Moseley, W. C. Sheffield, H. C. Fryer, and J. P. Lane. On August 6, 1957, the Peter Early Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, became custodians of the bridge by order of the Board of Commissioners of Roads and Revenue of Early County, with C.E. Martin as chairman and Mrs. George Nelson as regent of the D.A.R.
