Round Lake, which is located on the south side of M-59 east of it's intersection with US 23 near Hartland, Michigan. This lake is not visible from the highway and must be reached by driving through Frank Vescellius yard. Mrs. Vescellius provided this information because she had been good friends with Nelson and Ellen. Before Nelson died he sold the cottage and 20 acres on the south side of M-59. One of his children owned a cottage on Round Lake at the time of this interview with Mrs. Frank Vescellius in 1969. [Source: The House Genealogy Book]
