"Drilling a well at the Beecher Woodham farm near Banner, Ar.
Annie Hicks is the woman with a cap on her head. Ruby and Irene are sitting at her right and Cleffie is the baby sitting on the ground in front of her knees.
Picture taken by U. F. Hicks 1918"

Annie Hicks was my great-grandmother. Cleffie was my grandmother. Ruby and Irene were her sisters. I don't recognize anyone else in the picture, so I don't know if they were any of our relatives or not. The picture was taken by my great-grandfather (Annie's husband) Ulysses Hicks. He was a professional photographer. Most likely, he was also one of the ones involved in digging the well.
