"This wheel was installed by Howard Van Horn to generate electric power, when he lived on the former Groh ranch. It was set up in an irrigation ditch at a point where the water had sufficient drop to revolve it. The ditch, built by Frank Groh in 1905 has been abandoned for many years and the wheel with it." -- McCoy Memoirs p.130
