Drawing Water at the School Pump

Grace Vandevert McNellis says of this photo, "The picture was taken at the schoolhouse and Claude is pumping the water, Gracie is behind watching. Grover Caldwell is holding the pail and the other boy, I'm almost sure, is Bob Fowler. Bob's mother was probably taking the picture - she was always doing that and had a camera every time she came to the ranch. The Fowlers had three children, lived in Bend, and he was the editor of the Bend Bulletin. Mrs. Fowler and Mrs. Caldwell (Grover's mother) were sisters, so those two boys were first cousins.  Mrs. Caldwell was Claude's teacher for several years at the school and was always his favorite teacher. Both these families were great friends of the Vandevert family. "
