Getting water from the ground to your house was always a problem for old time Americans. Most people tried to locate their home near a spring, lake, or stream for water for themselves and their animals. If that was not possible, they would attempt to dig a well near their house and in their yard. If successful in finding water, they would lower a metal cylinder into the well, allow it to fill, then draw it up and empty it into a container. If you had a lot of laundry to do.........man you had to lower the old cylinder many a time. Oh well, you did what you had to do.
Aren't you glad that God has blessed us with electricity and pumps to bring out water to us anywhere we want it in our homes?
