JB: Is this the water tower we now have at McEwen? Does anyone know for certain on this?
Sorry for the image quality. I suspect it has been copied many times before. It is from the book "Bates & Austin Remembered". It is a collection of stories by former residents of Bates/Austin and published in 1997 by Sonja Johns. The book was given to me by the late Joann Ricco-Vidondo. Joann grew up in Bates and resided on her ranch near Prairie City at the time of her death. BTW, I believe this is the correct spelling of Prairie City.
