Robert Gleason settled at Lakeside in 1832 and Charles Mitchell arrived in 1834, taking up the farm on the north shore of the lake where his grandson, Charles Mitchell now resides. The pioneer preacher, T. B. Brown, came to the settlement a few years later carrying in a bag all his worldly possessions, which it is said included a violin and a little bottle of whiskey, the later being used for medical purposes.

Later, Rev. Brown was a Methodist minister.
