Quiver River

Many of you know that the Terrell Family grew up on the banks of the Quiver River - or atleast close to the Quiver River.
I have made mention of the mailbox being past the river bridge and we had to ride bikes or walk to get the mail. Jackie and Marvin spent time with us in the summer and one time Ronald and Marvin went to get the mail on the Ford tractor. (Question: alot of Ford tractors were around the area, but were all of them smaller?). Okay back- they rode to the mailbox on the tractor. Ronald was driving and Marvin was sitting on the hood, some how when crossing the bridge to return home - Ronald hit the side (not the center of the bridge) right at the first part and went down the river bank. Remember Marvin is on the front hood. The tractor would not stop even though Ronald kept trying to press the brake with his foot. The tractor finally stopped just short of the water. Marvin survived. Ronald messed his foot up bad where he kept stomping the brake. Mr Lovett, a neighbor of ours got him to the hospital. It seemed like he had to stay for weeks and he will have to tell the story about the hospital friends!


This is the same bridge that had to be crossed over to get to the store that Granddaddy Vowell once worked in (or owned?)

The store was in the spot that Mr. Lovett (above) had his house.
