*The Mineral Well was driven in 1904 in the old Courthouse yard in the center of the Public Square to supply water for sprinkling the square. After going a depth of 196 ft. the water was found to be high in iron and a specimen was sent to the government experiment station at Knoxville for analysis. Iron, carbonates of lime, magnesia, soda and some lithia were found. Physicians began to prescribe the water for patients with stomach, kidney and bladder troubles.
The man in the back with his hands on his hips may be Sheriff Taylor.
