Heafford Junction
Lake Nokomis Wisconsin

"Southwestern Oneida County, located on the south shore of Lake Nokomis and along U.S. Highway #51. From Vol. 93 of Deeds, the description is as follows:
"All that part of SE1/4 SE 1/4 Sec. 34, T36N R6E lying South of Big Rice Creek, not overflowed by water raised by a dam across Tomahawk River in Sections 4 and 9 T35N R6E to a height of 32.5 ft above the rollway of the Tomahawk Land and Boom Company's dam in Sec. 10 T34N R6E; Excepting and reserving to the grantor a strip of land 30 ft. wide at all points and contiguous to and extending entirely along the boundaries of the flowage created by said dam.
"Also excepting and reserving to the grantor, all that portion of the said description lying next to the creek and north of the northerly east and west ravine, used as a borrow pit."

Main Lodge and Tavern

On the main floor, the dwelling consisted of three bedrooms, two baths, a large kitchen, a separate dining room, (where in the early years Josephine and Estelle would cook dinners for the vacationers), and a sitting room with large windows overlooking Lake Nokomis. Later, the Gintowts expanded the lower level, adding a tavern overlooking the lake.

    Thank you for posting. I have have fond memories of vacations with my parents, maternal grandparents brother and two sisters. Beautiful lake with fishing, swimming and boating. The smell of the pines was the best. Enjoyed playing Michigan Rummmy with family. Visitors wrote their experiences inside the bedroom wardrobe cabinets, including my great grandmother Millie Scheldrup Jacobsen.
    Known by all as "Spittin' John's" Resort, as John was a fixture tending bar in the cabinet, chewing tobacco and constantly spitting.
    Nobody called it "Pleasant Point'. John and Josie were great folks, and "Spittin' John's beats Disney World any day. Interested in reading how they bought the place as a young couple back in the '20's. Would enjoy reading any comments others may have. Mike Nelson-Madison WI and Oak Park IL
