Came Here 44 Years Ago About forty-four years ago, when he first came to the lake region, Mr. Peters stopped first at Nippersink Point at a little hotel conducted by an Englishman by the name of Harry Donnell. Sportsmen would put up their tents for a week or two and stay to enjoy the good hunting and fishing which first attracted Mr. Pet ers, as well as other early settlers, to locate at this beautiful body of ^ater. At that time a large part of the bay was grown to weeds, lacking much of its present beauty, and was known as Red Head Bay, so called from a kind of wild duck which frequented its waters and for which it was then popular. Upon the arrival of the first pioneers, including Mr. Peters, Noah Pike, Henry L. Hertz and William Lorimer, they decided to change1 the name of the Bay and lake "and after much deliberation andjudgment in the choice of a name the present one of Pistakee was chosen. This is an Indian name most appropriate for the region which, many years before, had been the happy hunting grounds of the red men. Many Indian mounds containing skulls and other relics have been found there, giving proof of its early habitation bjr these people. The name of the bay for several years was changed to Pistaqua, which h^-the French name, and not the on^riginally given. In later years and at present the use has reverted to the original Indian name, Pistakee, given by Mr. Peters and his friends. When Mr. Peters located at the bay there was only one houste anywhere in that region, which was a building on the east shore and was called the j German club. It was built on land owned by Michael Justen. On one side of the cottage where Mr. Peters lived was a cornfield, while on the other side was a pasture. Now All Private Property The population grew gradually with several new families arriving every year until at the present time the property is all private with many wealthy and influential families spending the summer in wonderful and expensive summer homes. Every year more and costlier homes are being erected with a large mansion for Weiland of dairy fame, now under construction as well as a $75,000 home being built on the Hollenbeck estate. Pistakee Bay is noted as an exclusive summer resort, with no large hotels, but where all of the residents live in harmony like one large family and co-operate for the improvement and benefit of their colony. Recently the Pistakee Golf club has been organized and beautiful golf grounds laid out for the amusement and enjoyment of many members. Active In Pistakee Club Mr. Peters, who at present is the treasurer of the club, was the first president of this organization. He is also treasurer of the Pistakee Yacht club, being it one time Commodore of of the' club. This beautiful clubhouse has been recently remodeled at a cost of several thousands of dollars and is the home of the very active Yacht club. Yacht races are held at the bay every week during the summer where two classes of boats are entered. Boats are also taken to other regattas and this summer four C and three $ boats were entered in the inland lake regatta at Lake Minnetonka, near Minneapolis. Nestled among the trees on a commanding slope that overlooks the5" beautiful, glistening Pistakee Bay, the Peters home presents the perfect conception of a modern, yet cojpfortable and restful summer home, far from the noise and hu*ry of the city. Fronting to the east on the bay the housed which was built twenty-six years ago,; is surrounded by four acres of beautiful lawn, orchards and gardens and a<ty joins the extensive Sayer property and' mansioh' t6" th6 sbuth. Flowers are, orie' of the 'hobbies of lUr. Peters andi his home is noted for the beautifulj sunken garden which attracts many: visitors yearly. The garden was laid out by Jens Jensen, famous landscape gardener, and has three terraces. On -the first one annuals are planted, on the second terrace perennials will be fdrnnd growing and on the third terrace are the. wild flowers. F:om the n^omant their friends place foot uponsth? "welcome mat" at the door until they depart for home theirs is a keen appreciation of the genial and hospitable host and hostess and a keen delight jn the beauty and comfort of their home." Here's hoping that Mr. and Mrs. Peters have many morg years of enjoyment at their home so near to us. Among the guests at the party Saturday evening were: Mrs. B.
