Her employer is a professor in a college. Lucy and George moved to
Central Oregon when the area was advertised as "The Land
of Milk and Honey" with new water rights for thousands of
acres of land by the Carey Act of 1893. Lucy had a strawberry
patch and needed more water. The flume ran near so she would
scratch the moss to let some water out through the cracks. The
water actually belonged to Finn John and he needed it so he checked
the flume every day and put dirt back in to plug the cracks.
