Brief City History

 

For years Clyde Weeks has been gathering memorabilia-cards, photographs, booklets, menus, fans, scraps of paper, pins, badges--anything he could find about Lake Contrary. Through his hard work he has helped St. Joseph keep its memories of our history through good times and hard times.

 

Acknowledgments

All photos on this page were taken from the book "Lake Contrary Days of Glory." The book was published in the memory of the Ingersolls - Bob and Miss Anna - who brought joy to so many for a half century.

Special thanks go to the editor of the book, Clyde Weeks. His book has very interesting information about the history of Lake Contrary.

Copies of the book are available for sale through the St. Joseph Museum. Call 232-8471 for more information.
