My condolences to Sharon and family .... Cold Springs has lost a life long resident ......... There lies between the Rice Lake and the Ontario , a deep and fertile valley , surrounded by lofty wood-crowned hills , clothed chiefly with groves of oak and pine ; the sides of the hills and alluvial bottoms display a variety of noble timber trees of various kinds , as the useful and beautiful maple , beech , and hemlock . This beautiful and highly picturesque valley is watered by many clear streams , whence it derives the appropriate appellation of "Cold Springs " ..... Catherine Parr Traill .... Lost In The Back Woods
