Wellesley Island - Mr. Charles F. Singer Jr., 88, County Route 100, Fineview, died May 26th, at the Samaritan Summit Village, where he resided for the last month.
In June 1922, the wealthy and philanthropic north country native son Edward John Noble made a huge land transaction in the Thousand Islands.
Mr. Noble and A. Graham Miles, son-in-law of George C. Boldt, purchased the entire Boldt estate in the Thousand Islands which ranged from Boldt Castle, Thousand Islands Club, Wellesley Farm, about 1,500 acres on Wellesley Island to waterfront property at Alexandria Bay known as the Cornwall property and several smaller cottages.
They also purchased property around Hopewell Hall on Wellesley Island. The estate sits atop a bluff on Wellesley Island, off the main shore of Alexandria Bay. However, Mr. Boldtâs only daughter, Mrs. Niles R. (Clover) Johaneson, who was married and divorced twice, retained Hopewell Hall for herself.
