1880 - Jul 29 - "Shady Bluff," the summer home of Mr. Edward R. Wheeler, of Plymouth. Here is a delightful house, beautifully situated, facing south on the lake. Mr. Wheeler has made it a home in all senses of the word. The yard is terraced down to the beach. In the lake, a short distance out, the "Arleta" floats at anchor, raising and falling with the Waves, her white canvas lapping lazily in the wind. The beach in front of Shady Bluff is the favorite bathing ground the people on this side of the lake, the shore and bottom being fine sand, and clear of obstructions
