"My lake [Lake Helen] lies four miles southeast of DeLand. Such lakes are characteristic of the pine lands, deep, though small, irregular in shape with clean shores, they look in the bright light like blue patterns cut from the sky and dropped down among the trees. In this neighborhood are Lake Clough, named for J.B. Clough, Lake Macy for Rev. E. Macy and Lake Colby for George P. Colby."
--Helen Parce DeLand, Story of DeLand and Lake Helen, Florida
"Mrs. Kornig caught a bass in Lake Helen the other day which weighed sixteen and one half pounds. She was in a row boat only a few feet from the shore. The water was shallow, and when she was about to haul her game into the boat the hook broke and quick as a flash the plucky woman sprang from the boat into the water and rolled the monster ashore."
--Life in Florida, June 29, 1886
