The Origin of the Camp Huronda Property at the South End of Lake Waseosa

 

John Charles Risk began practicing law early in the 1930s.  A few years later, in the midst of the depression, he acquired the Waseosa property from a client who was unable to pay his bill in any other way.  His sons, from whom this information comes, say that their father told him that it was a time when cash would have been far more welcome than a piece of land.

Wanted:

Your stories.

We want to compile a history of the area and we need your help before it's lost in the mists of time. When and why did Long Lake and Round Lake become Waseosa and Palette? Who originally built your cottage? How many places have hosted Fun Day over the years? What inspired people to form the LWRA in the first place ?

Send your histories in to us at secretary@lwra.net and we'll get them posted up here for everyone to enjoy!

Compared to the Nortons and the Balls of the lake, we are relative newcomers. When we were shopping for a cottage in the mid-90s, we were looking for a place that we could eventually retire to and found what we wanted in the cottage of the late Paul Rhoads.
