Description: Glass plate with a group portrait at a well on the "Figmond Tract" in Merced County. There are ten men, some in suits and some in work clothes, nine women in dresses and hats, a small child, and an infant. The well mechanism is under a triangular wooden frame, with water rushing down the chute in the center of the image. Rectangular section of the image in the lower right was not developed, with only "Sec 35 well ; Figmond ; Tract" written in. Possibly "36" rather than "35".
"1" written in white in the lower left corner. The same group appears in mssLatta Skyfarming, Box 113, Folders 2 and 11, Item 1.
