The scene looks south, Do you remember? BY JABEZ RANDS (As part of Clinton's upcoming celebrations, Jabez Rands of Clinton is writing a weekly column on the history of the town.) Do you remember when there was a town pump? The Clinton town pump was located in market square beside the present town hall, A well was dug at the scene at some early date which we were not able to establish, and a pump was installed. We do know that it was there in the month of May of 1880. This made it handy for the people with produce to sell, enabling them to get a cool, refreshing drink of water. Many people who Summerhill Ladies discuss income tax passed by also used to get a drink using the old tin cup. , This pump had a fairly good and useful life because the water works system was not in- stalled in town until 1910 and the pump was still in use for several years after that date. We do not know if the original pump was a wooden pump or not but the one used in later years was made of iron. It was situated a short distance to the south of the present drinking fountain and there is still a slight indentation in the ground where the earth is still settling in the old well.
