	The Jarvis's built nine cabins, some down at the lake. Fred died in 1955. Julelia stayed there for a couple more years. She sold all the cabins at the lake privately to several people. Across from the main road went to the state. She lived in the lodge, keeping that until she left and passed away. Four days before Christmas in 1965, Ernest (Sr.) and Elsbeth Hohmeyer purchased the lodge.		The Jarvis's built nine cabins, some down at the lake. Fred died in 1955.

So, while Ernest Sr. stayed down state, Elsbeth, her two daughters and Ernest Jr. moved into a large home that was supposed to be winterized and had not been lived in for ten years. But they managed, got the lodge winterized, and on May 28, Ernest Sr.'s birthday, opened for business as The Lodge, serving meals to the public. The first meals that were served were five-course meals that cost $5.50 Wow! ...		It's the usual story.

	Hohmeyer's Lake Clear Lodge is celebrating 40 years in business the month of May. There were several other people who built the lodge and had a business there. The lodge house and red barn were built in 1886, by Millard and [[Anna Etta Mulligan\|Anna Otis]], who happen to be Cathy Hohmeyer's great-uncle and -aunt. They ran it as a boarding house, trading post and carriage stop for people going from the [[~~Lake Clear Junction\|~~Lake Clear Junction]] to [[Saranac Inn]]. Ernest said that he found an old basket of receipts in the attic that were all signed by Millard Otis, who had a post office from 1887 to 1893 at the lodge.
