Wakefield a Growing Town on Sunday Lake
The Bulletin traces Wakefield's founding by G. M. Wakefield, its surveyed growth, and key merchants, hotels, and services along Sunday Lake. It notes early firms Hayward Wescott, Goldberg & Co., Mittenthal Bros., the Coliseum Theatre, Lake Shore telephony, and prominent hotels. A special school meeting discusses site selection and funding for a new building.
