It looks like a well or there could have been a spring present there. They could have then built the well surrounding it (as ornamental), and capped it off to re-channel the water. Only speculation ...

This is a scan but the photo really needs to be photographed with a polarizing filter. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~springport/pictures186/18621small.jpg http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~springport/pictures186/18621medium.jpg http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~springport/pictures186/18621.jpg

Most of Central NY had air photos taken in 1938. These images are still available from the National Archives but now the National Archives has turned over duplication and copy to private business and the prices for such copies has gone from $5 per contact negative to $22. 1938 Air Photo prices FROM: King Visual Archives A duplicate negative 10 by 10 inches is $22.00 Scans 500 DPI $20 600 DPI $30 900 DPI $40 1,200 DPI $50 1,600 DPI $60 (16 bit) then there is a $9.50 "Pull Fee" that the National Archives charges.

If you send me vitals on your earliest known Shade ancestor, I will see if I can idenify your ancestry and get back to you.

The Minister who started Holland, Mich. is a descendant of Jan van Raalte (Raelte) from Zwartsluis ca. 1645. Both family trees have been published in the Web and I believe there may be one or two more e.g. one family that started in Hattem. I am trying to find a link between Benjamin and Julia van Raalte and one of these families; since they are also Jewish I suspect they are related to my family. Regards, John
