History of the Lake 

Resort Development 

A Surra? Shows th* Neighboring L*k* Resort Development to Have 

BMO Comparitively R*contlyFew Cottages 40 Year* Ago 

Some seven years ago the Dispatch 

got out a Booster Edition for the 

Fjnckney Board of Commerce, active 

at that time, which went over with 

a tang. This year we have determined 

tv> duplicate this effort to s->me 

extent. Pinckney undoubtedly lies 

clotei to more lakes than any other 

village or city in the state of Michigan. 

Some years ago Brighton claimed 

this honor with 50 lakes. Norman 

Reason, champion fisherman, disputed 

this, and compiled a list of some 

5.S lakes, noun of which are mor"i 

than 5 miles from Pinckney. This is 

taken up in this paper in another 

a»t rle. 

Michigan is known as the "Land 

of Lakes" not only on account of 

the Great Lakes but also on account 

of the many inland lakes of the 

state. Geologists tell us that the retreat 

of the glacier left an inland 

sea but the persistent Huron River 

cut t channel through the hills at 

the southern ends of Ba.e and Portape 

Lakes and the waters of the sea 

poured forth to mingle with the 

waters of Lake Erie, leaving in deeper 

pools the many lakes that lend 

ch«;rm to the landscape in this section. 

This valley of lakes is 16 miles 

long by 5 miles wide. It extends in 

a southwesterly direction from the 

western boundary line of Oakland 

-ecunty, thjp4^|pjtfhern Livingston 

and northern vâshtenaw county. 

After the war of 1812 this section 

was inhabited mostly by wandering 

Indians with only an occasicpft] 

trading post or settlement. rh.2 

crooked, winding, picturesque roads 

now found in the lake regions were 

fjimerly Indian trails. These Indians 

sold their lands and moved further 

west, once a year they went to Detroit 

and Canada to collect bounty 

money for the land. Older settlers 

here remember when Indians passed 

through here for that purpose. These 

bounty payments were discontinued 

about 1840. 

The Indian usually travelled on 

foot and followed the high land. The 

lakes were favorite stopping places 

for them as there, water, fish and 

game were abundant and the Indian 

cuiiied few provisions, living on the 

couhtry as he went along. Many Indian 

relics have been picked up on 

the lake farms in this section. The 

C'ark family at Silver L-ik? have 

found many such relics on their 

land, including some articles made 

of Minnesota redstone, showing that 

the Minnesota Indians either came 

here or traded with Michigan Indians 

The Indians who usually ranged 

through here were Chippewas and 

Powattomies. 

In 1819 Gov.| Lewis Cass signed a 

treaty with the Indians which deeded 

all Michigan lands to the government 

and moved them west. Still for 

many years the settlement of Michigan 

was alow. A geographical survey 

about this time classified Michigan 

aj a land of swamps and marshes 

totally unfit for agriculture. 

Many of the towns and cities here 

were laid out about 1830 when real 

settlement of Michigan started. The 

f'jst lake development would aop:ar 

to be about 1834 when Gardner Lillibridge, 

a New York actor, purchafed 

land oi the south side of Big 

Portage Lake where Newport Bathing 

Beach now stands and laid out 

the city of Lillibridge. He put on a 

high pressure campaign in which he 

featured a boiling spring with remarkable 

curative qualities and issued 

a prospectus in which he called 

Vi city The Saratoga of the 

>o«t." He announced tha* the Uniytitity 

of Hiehigan would be located 

then and ht» literature showed busy 

streets, university buildings etc.,

city was never built and all that remains 

of it is the bubbling spring. 

Numerous road houses sprang up 

at the lakes where the proprietors 

scid liquor and bartered with the 

Ind'ens for furs. Christopher Liscomb 

conducted such a place at 

P itage Lake in a building now own. 

ed by the Bock estate. This building 

i.5 still standing although it has been 

remodelled several times. 

It is also claimed but never definitely 

established that the French 

explorer, LaSalle, on his journey 

from Chicago to Detroit camped on 

the iHfuron river between Base and 

Fqrtage lakes. 

THE DEVELOPMENT OF 

THE LAKE RESORTS 

With all these lakes available 

there was hardly anv development 

of them to speak of until the 90's 

and then but slight. Howell, Brighton, 

Dexter, and Pinckney all had 

lakc-s or streams within their limits 

and could see no reason for going to 

the lakes and means of travel were 

too poor to permit other people to 

p J there. 

The first development took place 

as the roads were improved. Farmers 

living around the lakes started renting- 

boats to fishfng parties. This 

pvoved profitable and more got into 

it. Early pioneers in this business 

were the Pisk, Doyle, and Chalker 

families at Patterson Lake, David 

Mowers and Wm. Cobb of Portage 

Felix Dunlavey at Base and Sid 

Thurston at Silver. During the winter, 

persons out of work got the 

habit of going to the lakes and living 

by hunting, fishing and trapping. 

They got permission of the land 

owners to build shacks to live in. 

Several such persons squatted on the 

John Roberts farm at Base Lake. 

Later the farm was sold and the 

owner tried to get them off but was 

unable to do so as they had been 

there for 25 years or more. 

Then these farmars started re.icing 

land to people to build cottages 

on The rental in so.r.c CMCS was 

only $5 per year. Met Chalker inforn 

ed us that his father, the late 

.Tohn Chalker, leased land to a man 

to build a cottage on at Patterson 

for $35 a year and this lease did 

njt expire until 1939, many years 

after the death of his father. 

The first development around here 

would appear to have been in 1882 

when Mike Fritz and a party of 

friends from Ann Arbor built a club 

house at Zukey Lake. Later club 

houses were built at both Silver and 

Bnse Lakes by Ann Arbor men. 

£bout this time David Mowers, then 

cwr.er of the Baughn farm, built rwo 

cottages at T'ortage for rental pi-.vnoses. 

John Teeple, John Jaldwell, 

nnd Thomas Read also built cottages 

trere on rented land. Thomas Birkett 

at Portage rented land cor cottager 

as did Wm. Cobb ,Felix Dunlavey 

and George Sill at Base Lake 

Sid Thurston at Silver and the 

Doyles and Chalkers at Patterson 

FnUerson Lake. 

Still development was slow. Charier 

Stanard, former Dexter postrr.^ter, 

once informed us that he 

was offered all the frontage on the 

south side of Portage Lake, including 

Fox Point by Wm. Cobb in th- 

90's for $700 but could not raise 

the money as the banks turned hands 

down on it, 

Zukey Lake was the only lake 

with a railroad and for this reason 

was the first to be developed, its resorters 

being mostly Toledo and Ann 

Arbor people. The Ann Arbor railroad 

used to put on special trains in 

the summer to handle the Take people 

and the passenger traffic was 

tremendous here over holidays and 

week ends. 

In 1902 Wm. Cobb died and his 

w' ow sold the entire Cobb farm to 

nlfrht men from Ypsilanti and Ann 

Arbor. All of these men are now 

Fotiest are said to ktv« bought lots

7 TO 14 DEGREES COOLER 

\ Users say: "It's like sleeping outdoorsi 11 

r 

T 

v '***. 

Sir*., 

This is NOT the best house-cooling method 

in the world, but it's mighty good—as hundreds 

of satisfied users will tell you. Attic 

fan house-cooling has the virtue of being 

simple and inexpensive ... and it achieves 

surprisingly effective results. Even when 

there is not a breath of air stirring outside, 

you can often cool your house 7 to 14 degrees 

in the evening, making your bedrooms 

comfortable for sleeping. 

Here is the way ft works: During the day, 

the hot sun beating down on the roof converts 

your attic into a huge oven, with temperatures 

often reaching 130 degrees. 

Much of this heat is transferred through 

the ceilings to the rooms/fcelow, and at 

night, this burden of hot air^tangs in the 

house, even after the temperature outdoors 

has fallen considerably. 

An attic fan changes all this. After sundown, 

open your windows and flip the 

switch of the fan. Instantly its large, powerful 

blades blow away the oppressive 

blanket of heat in the attic and set up a 

gentle circulation of air all through your 

house. A flood of cool night air is drawn 

in through the open windows, making your 

rooms delightfully comfortable. An artic 

fan costs only about Vic an hour to operate. 

Prices range from $50 up (installation 

extra). 

Electrical dealers, department stores, and 

fan dealers will gladly give you full information 

about this low-cost method of 

house cooling. Telephone today. The

WINANS LAKE 

Winans Lake is located east of 

M. 3fi just past Lakeland and was 

the home of the late Governor Edwin 

Wvians. It was sold by his son, 

George, to Detroit real estate men 

who formed Pleasant Lake Golf and 

Country Club. It has one of the best 

courses in the state and a fine modem 

club house. It enjoys a very 

fine membership and patronage 

BASE LAKE 

This lake derives its name rrom 

the fact that it is located on the 

Washtenaw-Livingston county base 

lire. Early owners of lake front here 

were George Sill, a retired Dexter 

haruware man. John Roberts and 

Felix Dunlavey. The earlier cottagers 

were, nearly all from Dexter 

and Ann Arbor and built on land} 

rented from Dunlavey and Sill. After 

1920 Detroit people began to] 

come out and have now replaced' 

most of the Dexter and Ann Arbor j 

resorters. The Sill and Dunlavey 

families have long since sold their 

land and many real estate dealers; 

have plats here. 

THE PINCKNEY MILL POND 

The Pinckney Mill Pond is a body 

of water 60 rods wide and about a 

mile long. As Henry Ford controls' 

the water right) there has been little • 

envelopment here, althutgh Charles 1 

Skinner has built several cottages on' 

too south tide of the pond. 

The fishing for small and big fish 

hfjf always been excellent he e and 

tfce mei And children of Pinckney 

have used it as a swimming 

for the past hundred years. 

ISLAND LAKE 

pod! 

-- ) 

Island Lake, just this side of 

Zukey Lake on M-36 is subdivided 

on the west and north sides. Several 

real estate companies own frontage^ 

here. T. L. Bourbonnais built several 

ct ttages on the west side of the lake. 

Toledo ice companies once had large 

ice houses at both Island and Zukey 

lakes but these have both been removed. 

For years these houses furr.\ 

hed the men of this section with 

employment during the winter 

months. 

OTHER LAKES 

There are a number of other 

lakes here which have never been 

platted but where boats may be 

rented for fishing. Among them are 

the Schoollot lakes where the Hinchey 

and Spears families own frontage. 

Bently Lake where John Martin 

and Mrs. Frank Mowers own 

frontage and many others. 

FRESH AIR CAMPS 

In addition to the U. of M. Fresh 

Air Camp at Patterson Lake which 

handles 300 boys at a time there are 

the Y.M.C.A. camp at Silver Lake 

and Camp Robinson at the same 

'.-ike. There is a Red Cross girls camp 

on the soMth side of Silver Lake. 

They have no buildings but camp Wi 

tents. There are several Fresh Air 

camps at North Lake and Dan 

Noecker has one a* Ore Lake.

The Pinckney Ditpfctt'i Wednexky, July 2. 1941 

& 

PATTERSON LAKE 

Patterson Lake, 5 miles south of S 

Pinckney, has a large development. 5 

Some years ago there were 128 cot- 5 

tages there not counting the building 

of the U. of M. Fresh Air Camp 

Burt Thomas, Dexter, bu^t the first 

cottages there on land rented of 

John Chalker. Later he purchased 

frontage of Wm, Doyle which r 

subdivided and sold. Following the 

death of Tohr. Chalker, his sun, Met, 

sold many lots and built a stole and 

dance hall. This he later sold to Jo\n 

Howell who operates but Met 

lives at the lake. 

still 

Messrs Floyd Reason and Orloff 

bought the 80 acre Gant farm on 

the youth side which they platted and 

sold. 

The U. of M. Fresh Air Camp here 

comprises 210 acres, formerly the 

Dean Hartsuff, Dan Kaiser and 

Chapman farma and is on the west 

tide of the lake, Pharis Whetzel also 

OWHS land on the north side of the 

lake. 

CORDLEY LAKE 

Cordley Lake is bounded by the 

Cordley Jnd Joe Placeway farms and 

land of the Bross family. The Cordley 

farm was subdivided in 1926. a 

club house built and a golf course 

laid out. The golf course is no longer 

in operation. The stockholders 

now operate it and hold dances and 

parties there over the week end. 

Thy are mostly Ann Arbor people. 

The Placeway farm, later owned by 

Ji-mes Shirey and now by Miss Eva 

Melvin, abo has a number of cottages 

on it. It is located about four 

miles cast of Pinckney, just west of 

K-86. 

UUSH LAKE 

The lake frontage on this lake 

w:i= owned by Fred Teeple, T.oorTe 

and Stephen VanHorn and George 

Flintoft. The first cottage was built 

here by Fred Teeple in 1927. Later 

the VanHorn Bros, gold their farm? 

co the Herndon Realty Co. of Detroit 

who platted the lake frontage. 

Now here are over 30 cottages there 

Among them is a fine one owned by 

Frank McKelvey of Prttsburgh, 

Peon., a retired railroad engineer, 

His cottage was the second one built 

there and is distinctly modern. The 

lake is shallow and for this reason 

has always been popular for Sunday 

school picnics and outings. The 

.Noith Hamburg church for years 

held their annual picnic there. 

BASS LAKE 

"here ar two Bass Laks, one lies 

just east of Cordley Lake and its 

iYontage is owned chiefly by the 

lu'oss family. T h*re v:e a numbi.' of 

cottages hero. 

T v ,e other one lies and Co. Over 40 cottages were 

built there the first year. A dam 

was put in and the water raised to 

form a good sized lake. The place 

wac always noted for its excellent 

b.utgill fishing. The subdivision is 

now controlled by Mr* VanSickle 

and Sherwood Bros, of Bedford.

place to borrow, no way to 

transfer money quickly, none 

of the countless convenienses 

provided by modem banking. 

Obviously, a progressive community

one of supplying services that 

will adequately meet the community's 

needs. We would like
