Rev & Mrs. Paul (Genevieve) Wilkinson wrote this song which is on a postcard.

"By Lake Pepin's rippling waters

'Neath the towering hills

Building temples of the spirit

Visions to fulfill.

Going onward.  looking upward

Searching for Thy truth

Building in our hearts fond mem'ries

Frontenac of you."

sung to the tune of  Cornell University Alumni song:

 "Far Above Cuyuga's Waters."
