Part of our enjoyment was renting a small boat with a small motor on the mainland (Catawba, I believe) and taking it a little distance to Mouse. We tramped through the woods, viewed the ruins and wondered about the history of Mouse Island. Thanks for filing in the blanks.

She passed away this June and we found it among her memoirs. THey stayed with descendants of President Hayes. Mr. Hayes was a friend and Partner of my grandfathers insurance company in Toledo Ohio. They enjoyed the tennis court and had a constant flow of guest that summer that they brought over in a small boat with outboard from the mainland.S.Ellis, Ellis Consulting Group Inc.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09109178773639974805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526309204562058761.post-1657636065140140672015-02-26T11:55:54.231-08:002015-02-26T11:55:54.231-08:00Great info.
