Mentions: "The [Grasselli Company] built a swinging footbridge across the West Fork River in 1910 to connect the town of Spelter with the Fairmont-Clarksburg interurban trolley line. The trolley stop was called 'Ziesing'. Wagons forded the river to bring supplies not carried into the town by the B.&O. Railroad. A school house was built on the hill… DuPont sold the townsite in 1950, including the swinging bridge, to John J. Moschetta who immediately sold the houses to the employees occupying them at the time. Mr. Moschetta dismantled the swinging bridge in 1951… In 1962 a new cement bridge was constructed north of the old vehicular bridge."
