History
While Bob Nixon, Steve Head and Joe Hollick were measuring this
waterfall and checking the water source, they spoke with the
current owner of the house on the east side (left side of the
waterfall) and the following information was given to the trio:
The original owner of the property on the east side of this
wide swale in the 1940's was a Mr. Wade. The property on the
west side (with the railing around the deck as seen in one picture)
was the summer residence of John Deifenbaker.
