Wolf Lake: The Millen

“Dear Little Alberta,

 How are you and how is “Pincher”? I often think of you and get lonesome to be back in Grand Rapids once more. How is school? I suppose you study hard. Can’t you write me a letter or even a card? I would love to hear from you.”  Love Mabel  January 1917

 There are several Wolf Lakes in Michigan. There is a  Wolf Lake in Lake County, as well as Muskegon County and a smaller Wolf Lake in Kalamazoo County. There is a fish hatchery is located on the Kalamazoo County Wolf Lake.

 But I am not sure which Wolf Lake “The Millen” was located on. Someone I know thought it was down by Jackson County somewhere, but was not sure. If you know let me know.

 While the postcard looks beautiful and inviting, it probably was not as inviting in January when Mabel wrote this. I hope when summer came she got out to the lake and wasn’t quite as lonesome for Grand Rapids.
