History of East Trinity Lodge No. 157, A.F.& A. M.
Sterling R. Barnes, the first Junior Warden of the Lodge, move
to Rock Wall area in 1844, from Holley Spring, Mississippi.
He carried with him a demit from Holley Springs Lodge No. 35 and
that demit continues to hang above the station of the Junior
Warden. Sterling R. Barnes built the first iron bridge
across the East Fork of the Trinity River. Barnes charged
a toll to cross the bridge: a footman - 5 cents, man and
horse - 10 cents, a horse and buggy - 25 cents, a horse and
empty wagon - 30 cents, and a horse and full wagon - 40 cents.
The road that crossed the bridge became known as Barnes Bridge
Road. This road is now called Terry Lane (after another
Long time Family). The road no longer continues into
Dallas County due to Lake Ray Hubbard. That section of the
road across the lake in Dallas County continues to be called
Barnes Bridge Road.
