I was told by family my grandfather was one of the ferry boat attendants, His name was Robert Stoner. He was a man of small physical stature but was one you didn't want to cross. Was also told he could stand at the ferry dock on one side of the river and could throw a rock accurately to the other side. Was told he was the only one known able to accomplish this, really wish I could have inherited his throwing arm. I still have family that live in and around that area.
