Continued . . . During the drought years in the 1930s, Mr. Slade spent considerable time and money maintaining a resting and feeding area for waterfowl. A large well was dug between two lakes on the property, which could pump up to 16,000 gallons of water per hour.
In 1941, Mr. Slade donated the property to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The national wildlife refuge was established and named Slade NWR in honor of its previous owner.
