Industry
2
In 1902, a hand-dug well was created for the crops, cattle, and household use of Ewing Halsell, son of land promoter and settler W. E. Halsell. An irrigation ditch carried water half a mile to the headquarters of Halsell's "Mashed O" Ranch. The well, six feet in diameter but only 30 feet deep, is no longer in operation.
