Yea, I know this an older thread! Haven't been here in a while!

I can shed a little bit of light on this. My Parent's names are on that plaque!

Apparently, the names on that list got together to buy up some land that was for sale on the island. Not sure if it was true or not, but someone wanted to buy it and develop it - so these owners stepped up to prevent that from happening.

Our family sold our place on the island in 2021. We were there for 20 years.

I miss it dearly! My 7 year old daughter actually burst out in full tears the last time we went up there for day trip.

Thankfully, my Brother in Law has a cute little cabin in Alton. Not on the water, but at least my connection to the lake isn't completely dead!
