Page Covered Bridge Clarence Woods Covered Bridge, Woolwine, Virginia In remembrance, John Woods Shelton 1991­2009 Generic Caption: Specific Caption: Narrative Caption: Ambiguous Caption: Just one week after his high school graduation, the great-grandson of the builder of this bridge, John Woods Shelton, died in an automobile accident as he returned from his Myrtle Beach celebrations. His family mourned in seclusion for two weeks, but had an obligation to open this bridge on their ancestral property for the Woolwine Covered Bridge Festival. As it was a major playground area for the deceased and the center point of many of his happy days, the family decorated the bridge with the brightly colored flowers from his funeral and placed a bright yellow chair where he often sat as a child listening to the river and contemplating a future that was not to be. 224
