Thank you to Larry and Ramona Boyd who were kind enough to go out and take this photo for me.

For you and a little direction of "where" John Jump may lie ... i took the picture from the east side of the bridge looking across Lindley Creek to the bluff/hill where we think he and his family were buried. our "think" is based on the Polk County Genealogical Society's map of locations of cemeteries.

From the first vertical steel railing looking across the bridge and back to the angled flat support to the edge of the picture - you see the ground horizon behind the trees. that horizon is where the land flattens out from the rise of ground from Lindley. it is atop and along that "ridge" where we believe (based on PCGS maps & directions) the original cemetery was located.

This old steel bridge was built in 1911 and is one of the few left in the county. i do not know if there was a river crossing prior to the building of this bridge - if it replaced an older river crossing or was a new one to connect Rimby and Polk towns. point being, the years between 1886 and 1911 would have been a completely different landscape and this picture is a best guess scenario based on descriptions as to where John may be interred. sometimes we think the winter is such a bad time for pictures because of the nakedness of the trees and brush ... however, for this one - it could not have been better. if all were in bloom and leafy you would not have been able to see the ground on the west side of Lindley.

2 miles north of Morrisville.
