Bottled water back then?
Pearl Fisher lived at 129 West Pacemont for nearly 70 years until her death in 1970 at age 82. [The house has since been torn down.] She moved there as a young girl, when Pacemont (then called Jason Avenue), was a gravel road with houses far apart and the mailman traveled his route in a buggy. There was a spring on the West Pacemont farm which her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Fisher, owned. They sold this spring water in bottles to residents all over Clintonville, delivering it by horse-drawn wagon. They stored the bottles in a little shed attached to the house. –from The Booster, January 4, 1978.

I was raised at 115 West Pacemont Road. I was born in 1940 and left in 1961 after I married.
Because I had allergies, for a while my parents purchased water from her.
Pearl Fisher re-married after the death of her husband. Whle I was still living there, her second husband died.
