Early History of Maine Haven - Fair Haven, Lynden, Eden Lake and Paynesville #233855

Moses Ireland laid out and plated the town-site on the west shore of Carnelian Lake, September 7th, 1856, and called it Marysville'. The location was beautiful, and undoubtedly the proprietor expected to soon see a thriving and prosperous city flourishing upon his town-site. But, like many others in the new state, it never rose above a paper town-site.
