Comments:
"Vermont in Floodtime" mentions this bridge near Del Ward's place near Middlesex. It may be a duplicate of one of the other Middlesex listings. A 1930 news article that mentions the Dell Ward farm describes it as on the Montpelier side of Middlesex. A 1938 article describes a major fire on the Dell S. Ward Farm located on a knoll near the branching of the Montpelier- Middlesex road toward Middlesex Center. This could describe Lower Sunnybrook Road, Lower Barnett Hill Road, or Old Brook Road?
