    Share Share Post
    Leading due east from [?] [?] [?] to the Four Mile House is a road and about midway on it's left hand side is a well of which a strange but true story is told.
    Residing in one of the homesteads beside the above-mentioned spot was a young woman (about one hundred years ago) and as it is our daily duty to fetch fresh water for the needs of the household so was it hers.
