Life at the Lake: The good, the bad, the ugly
WARNER'S LAKE — If the new book, Life at the Lake, is any indication, there have been some eccentric folks at Warner's Lake over the years.
Among the hundreds of stories in the pages of Life at the Lake, published last Friday by the Warner's Lake Improvement Association, readers can find characters like Jay Engle.
Jay Engle, owner of Engle's Fur Trading Post on the lake in the 1920's and '30's, is best remembered for his pet bear. Pictures in the book show Engle taking his bear for a swim on a leash, and sitting on a picnic table, the bear lounging against his side.
Edward Pitcher remembers: "I was in Engle's Store one day when a customer wanted to return a candy bar that had worms in it. In those days, they kept the candy and goodies over the winter as a way of saving money. Anyway, Lydia Engle told them they did not give money back for damaged goods but they were more than welcome to feed the candy bar to the pet bear."
Engle's name comes up often in the book as an eccentric and a trickster. One Warner's Lake oldtimer remembers him duping tourists about Indian dances on the top of Mt. Grippe. These stories are only a fraction of the fascinating memories, pictures, and documents available in Life at the Lake.
