Additional Comments:
James Eppes Bridges (b. 9 Apr 1880 in Coosa Co., AL & d. Union Parish, LA) 
married Lovda L. Thomas (b. 1882 in Coosa Co., AL & d. 1917 in Union Parish, 
LA)about 1908 in Coosa Co., AL. They are both buried in Mt. Nebo Methodist 
Church Cemetery, north of Downsville, Union Parish, LA.

James was a blacksmith and a farmer. While living in Union Parish, Ada Wilson 
would rent land to James to farm. He grew many types of food, especially 
ribbon cane. As a blacksmith in Union Parish he fixed wagons and shoed horses 
as well as mules. He charged $2.00 to shoe a mule. His son Alvin K. Bridges 
told the above information to me, Ron Bridges, on 14 Jun 1998 via phone.
