History White Lake is located in Langlade county about four miles west of the scenic Wolf River and 22 Miles east of Antigo. While Marcus Wahleithner moved from the Elton area and settled on the home farm section 29 in 1889 and John Evans operated a sawmill in the district until 1893,B.C. Larzelere built the first home in White Lake in 1910. The Larzelers lived there until the Yawkey-Bissell Lumber Company purchased it in 1916. Known as The Log House, it became the mill's first office. A White brick house built by R.G Johnson in 1913 was the second home built; the lumber company bought it in 1917 with the planning mill following in 1918. By 1921, the Yawkey-Bissell had also erected the store, the office, a barber shop, a boarding house, a hotel, a rooming house, a club hall, a bank, 110 houses, and a new school. By 1941, the company had 400 employees at the mill and its logging camps.<ref <ref (White Lake area Historical Society, White Lake, WI2013).
