An Old-Timers' Story
Jim Stevenson shared this story with us:
“During annual Ichetucknee Old Timers Days, we interviewed old timers to learn about early times at Ichetucknee.
I learned from a local farmer, Ethan Porter (deceased), who lived and farmed about a mile east of Ichetucknee. Before electricity, the locals obtained their water for family necessities from hand dug wells or pitcher pumps. He obtained water for irrigating the crops by driving his mule drawn wagon into the headspring to fill barrels.
Those folks knew the value of water.”
