Charles and Hattie Olsen, with the garage (now gone) and back of the house behind them.  Charles loved to go out on the shoals of Lake Michigan in the fall with his brother George to set nets.  They caught trout to salt and smoke for eating all year.  The men made their own boats.  Hattie and her sister-in-law Vena said they were fishermen’s widows.  Circa 1935
