Abbott Well Seeping Oil Near Milam County Line
Oil flow continues from the Abbott well about 1800 feet deep, located near Taylor and Thrall. Geologists and local operators, including J. T. Leach and John E. Lee, blame a westward fault from the Mexia Luling line for big production. The well, near 3 miles from Milam county, pumps oil about 30 feet high into a ravine, with rain causing some loss of supply at the dam site.
