Dells Pond

The Dells Pond in Augusta Wisconsin originally thought to be circa 1956, but other photos with this script style suggest it is circa 1930's. 

The pond provided fresh fish and sustenance for local farmers during those years long ago when families were large.  All the local farm children spent their entire educational life in the Dells Mill one room school and the other rural schools that peppered the neighborhood every few miles.  The heydays of these schools was from the 1870's into the 1960s.  For example, the Rodell Grade School, the nearest one room school was less than 3 miles away

The Dells School was just 50 yards from the Dells Pond

The Mill Pond, just 3 miles from Augusta Wisconsin is still popular for fishing year round.
