In 1883, water was scarce, and a man cleaned out an old well to keep water on hand. It was making people ill when drank, so they stopped consumption. However, they started noticing that his water appeared to speed up the healing process after laborers washed their cut or burned hands in the well. Mineral Wells of Tioga was founded and sold “Mineral Water” near and far. They eventually opened branches in St. Louis and New York.
