This beautiful home is owned by William Beardsley, and is one of the very pleasant locations in the town of Venice. It derives its name from a fine spring located near by. Water is furnished to the residence and barns by windmill power. Mr. Beardsley is also owner of Novelty Mills, which are equipped with machinery for sawing lumber, a supply of lumber is kept at the mills; also feed, which is ground here, and wagon repairing and saw filing receive attention.
