Couple more Pics borrowed from Jim C's Yesteryears Blog-Jim I owe you a Beer!!

Again, I can't thank Jim enough for letting us borrow these tidbits from his blog.  I don't know where you're finding these but thank you so much!!!

This is a picture of Spring Lake in Trenton Illustrated by Ellwood Parsons Robbins published in 1891. Click on the picture for greater clarity. Notice the mansion steps immediately to the left of the open-sided building. The sign next to the buggy states, "No Fishing Allowed on Sunday". The image on the lake, added by Mr. Robbins, states "Silver Spring", one of the many springs that feed the lake.



This is another view of Spring Lake from Ellwood Parsons Robbins' Trenton Illustrated published in 1891. The sign above the SILVER SPRING sign reads, "No Net Fishing Allowed Shooting on our Premises Anywhere UNDER PENALTY OF LAW". Of interest is the building on top of the bluff which appears to be an observation platform.
