Hoke remembers when this old well was open and was at the back porch of the house he was born and raised in as a young boy. It had a bucket tied on the end of a long rope and with a hand crank rig they would lower the bucket down into the well and get the water that his family used for drinking, cooking and cleaning, etc. The house stood just in the field of goldenrods to the left of the well (below).
