Beazell Bridge

Once there was a man and woman who fell in love. The woman's mother forbade her to marry, because she needed her daughter to care for her as she aged. Eventually the mother died, and the man and woman married after remaining faithful to each other for decades. Sadly, they only had a few years of happiness together on their beautifully forested property before the woman died. When the man eventually died too, their home became a county park.
