of the early days states that he heard
of Clear Lake from the Indians, when
he was resident of Clayton county in
1851. With John Hewitt, he left Straw
berry Point in that county for this
beautiful sheet of water on May 20,
1851. Along their way they passed
scattered settlements until they reached
Bradford, in Chickasaw county. After
that, not even a wagon trail marred
the waving prairies. Willow creek

Clear Lake, because of heavy floods,
but after a wait Of two days they
finally made the ford, arriving on the
sandy shores of the lake on July IA,
1851. Mr.. Dickerson settled with his
wife and child on the south shore Of
