- "Fred [BUTH] and his wife Katherine raised eight children. One of their sons, Lester, would go on to take over the farm. After his marriage to Adela ZASTROW in October 1930, Lester made a deal to rent the farm from his father, assuming control of the farm just as the Great Depression set in."
- "The BUTHs were very poor during the depression. When one of Elmer GAUL’s friends said he was willing to rent Lester’s rowboat one Sunday for 25 cents, the BUTHs readily accepted. Drawn back to Utica Lake each weekend, GAUL’s friend began to bring his family and friends to the lake. Word slowly got out about the crystal-clear water and good fishing at Utica Lake. As more and more people came to the lake, Lester decided to buy more rowboats, and a small business slowly started."
- "Lester and Adela provided picnic tables for their visitors, and started charging 25 cents per car for parking. Without truly planning for it, they had started a business running a private park on Utica Lake… As the years passed, the BUTH family continued to make their park on Utica Lake more inviting to visitors."
- "With the exception of the war years, the crowds at Utica Lake grew each summer… but by 1964 they were tired of running the business, and posted signs saying that it was the park’s last summer."
- NOTE: the USGS Geographic Names Information System places Utica Lake at lat/long 43.0178220, -88.4860872
