The Oil Well in Lyall Valley
Subject
Drilling for oil in the valley by the school, featuring the Bellamy's Cows.
Description
"The oil well was close to the school, just to the back of where Gloria Manzano lives, and was a great source of excitement to the children. John Money had the job of filling a tank with fuel every day after school with the family tractor and trailer. It was hard work because there wasn't mechanization and he used a hand pump, but he was happy to have the job because he earned a little money that way and some of the men every once in awhile would take pity on him and give him a hand pumping!" -Carol Money
