Timely Discovery
OF Abandoned Well
.Averts Tragedy
Bluffton Minister Finds
20-Ft. Well At Edge
Of Rear Steps

Possible tragedy was averted this
week when the Rev c. A. Classen
accidentally discovered a hidden 21-
foot well covered only by light slab
OF limestone at the foot of the steps
at the rear of his South Main Street
home.
Noticing. after the recent heavy
SHOWS that the flagstones at the base
of his steps seemed to be sinking un-
duly, Rev. Classen began to investi-
gate. To his horror, when he slipped
the small flagstones from position, nc
uncovered a deep hole.
The old hand-dug well appears to
be at least so years old. 1t was lined
with rock masonry. The 21-foot-deep
hole was filled with approximately
nine feet of water.
The minister Immediately began
filling the dangerous hole with stone
chips ordered from the local quarry.
Several tons will be required to fill
lit.
None of the neighbors could shed
light on the existence of the well.
None knew that it was there. One
theory was that it may have been
filled up, at one time but that an un-
derground stream may have carried
away the material,
Other similar conditions may exist
in the community, Rev. Mr.. Classen
said, and suggested that property
owners investigate anything that may
appear suspicious.
