This is a photograph of Hayes Grove, by the Millpond, Pinckney, Michigan. This was the first of three Old Boys and Girls Reunions. Ed Kearney, the man in the light suit, right, was then living in Nebraska and was a Vice President of the event. This gathering was across from the Mill Pond, and was taken in 1904.
This information was obtained from the Milton Charboneau book, "Return to Montecute", Volume 1.
The names of the other persons in the photograph are unknown.
The Millpond was home to a flock of wild ducks. Town Hall, center, was built in 1879. twelve years after the village was incorporated. Originally, the lower level was the fire department, while the village government business was conducted on the 2nd floor. In 1966, the beautiful little structure became the City Library and was assured it's continued preservation.
