    I recall seeing this photo yrs. ago when I started researching. My GGG-Grandparents Orlando A. & Armenia (Wolcott) Payne owned & operated Cold Springs. It’s a shame none of my older relatives are no longer living, it’s very possible they could’ve identified this man? Have to wonder why he was there too?

    What was Cold Springs and what time period was it in operation?

  • Connie (Buck) Sale

    You know, I never really thought about that before… something I probably should find out!

    Cold Springs was a summer resort on the Grand River in Austinburg Twp. (Cork Cold Sping Rd.) This is a rough guess but, I think it was in operation from about 1887 to 1903 maybe, when at that point he retired & his son Carlton W. Payne opened up a resort called River Grove located on the South end, east side of Tote Rd. which operated into the 40′s I think?
    Orlando’s nephew Earnest H. Payne also operated a 30- 40ft. steam boat called The Steamer Geneva & gave tours up & down the Grand River during the season. I’ll try to post some photo’s.
