Photos |
 | VanVolkenburgh Hunting Camp, Crowe River / Whetstone Lake, Hastings Co., undated. An undated photo of VV family and friends at a hunting camp in Lake Twp., Hastings Co. to the north and east of the family home at Cordova Mines, Ontario.
Submitted by Wayne VanVolkenburg: "Milo's Hunting Camp", John VV (senior) is second from the right. The hunting camp is below Whetstone Lake on the Crowe River. The VanVolkenburgh family (likely Simon) had a 100 year lease on Crown land where they built this hunting camp. I believe that other Trent River relatives joined them to hunt there. The only time that I went deer hunting was at this camp in 1971. It’s about a six mile walk to the camp!

 | Homestead of Nathan VV - Lucinda Cole family, now demolished.
Foundation remaining of the homestead in Methuen Twp., Peterborough Co., estimated to be Con. 1, Lot 3 S 1/2. Submitter Wayne VanVolkenburg states this lot was registered to Nathan on July 8, 1898.
This location is on the west side of the extension of Vansickle Rd. north of Cordova Mines. This was the Vansickle Settlement where some of the children are stated to have been born as early as the 1860's, and where Nathan died in 1915. It is just over the county line into Peterborough Co.
