Co, 115th INF (New York Volunteers) on August 22. A few days later, the regiment

Harpers Ferry, VA to prevent rebel reinforcements to reach Lee's Army. The
Battle of Maryland Heights ensued and John Wesley, along with his entire
regiment were surrendered to Stonewall Jackson on September 15, 1862. Due to the
sheer numbers the rebel generals paroled them the following day and they were
allowed to leave in peace but without rations and without equipment. They walked
back to Maryland suffering terribly along the way, many dying of privation and
illness. He was wounded on February 20, 1865 at Olustee, Florida where the
Regiment suffered badly, losing over half of its men. John Wesley was one of the

FUNERAL YESTERDAY FOR RODGER W. DAKE, 30
Funeral services were
held yesterday afternoon at 1:30, from the home at Oak Point, for Roger W. Dake,
30, prominent river guide and "handy-man" about summer cottages at
the Pont, who died early Monday morning while enroute to the hospital, of gunshot
wounds in the abdomen. Rev. Garner S. Odell of this village, conducted the service,
and interment was made in Morristown.
Rodger, who lived with
his mother and aunt, Miss Eva LaRock, had not been feeling well, and was up
around the house at about 2:30 Monday morning. He felt better when not lying
down, so he was looking out the window when he saw a rabbit in the yard. He
went to the front door, at the same time reaching with his left hand for his
shotgun, which stood in the corner near the door. As he pulled the gun towards
him, the hammer, which was on half cock, struck the edge of a table and dropped
on the firing pin, exploding the shell. The charge of shot struck him in the
adbomen, inflicting a serve wound.
His mother found him on
the floor near the door, and immediately called Louden Daniels, for assistance,
there being no one else living at the Point this winter besides the Dakes. Mrs.
Dake did not tell Mr. Daniels what had happened over the phone, and he rushed
out expecting to see the home afire. He lives some distance from the Point,
and drove to the Dake home as quickly as he could. Upoon arrival there, Roger
was conscious and Mr. Daniels immediately called Dr. T. A. Lewis of this village,
who rushed to Oak Point. In the meantime Roger told Mr. Daniels how the accident
happened, and Mr. Daniels comforted him as much as he could pending the arrival
of the doctor. He also called Eustis ambulance in case it would be necessary
to take the wounded man to the hospital.
Upon arrival at the home,
Dr. Lewis ordered Dake's removal to the hospital, and gave him hypodermics.
It is reported that the young man was conscious when being put in the ambulance,
and bade his mother farewell in the realization that he could not survive the
wound. Mr. Daniels accompanied him in the ambulance and the young mad died between
Brier Hill and Morristown. He was taken to Hepburn hospital where Dr. Rutherford
Roger upon admittance at 4:30 pronounced him dead.

The following storry was written by Lewis H. Dake:
TRUE STORY: Lewis H. Dake of Ogdensburg, writes us the following:
Back in the summer of 1888, I was living at North Hammond. N. Y., at the foot
of what is known as Marvin Hill. I wanted to go over to Chippewa Bay, which
is three miles away, either by land or by Chippewa Creek. As the road to the
Bay was rough through the' woods, I got the idea of borrowing my neighbor's
boat as I was pretty good at the oars. I went over one evening at supper, got
the boat and started. However, I bad not gone tar before I saw that the boat
was hard to row. It seemed to be water-soaked. So I had to start balling it
out on the way over. I figured I would be across the bay before dark. But when
I finally reached the mouth of the creek it was black darkness. It was also
raining some and the wind was blowing quite bard and there was a big swell rolling
into the bay. In leaving the mouth of the creek, I turned a little too close
to the shore and got tangled in the weeds. They stuck to my oars and dragged
on my boat. But after a while I got out into deep water. I had gotten, perhaps,
halfway across the Bay when my oars grated on the rocks. It was a shoal and
I thought I was going to drown. But just then the Lord sent a bigger swell and
my boat rode over the jagged rock. But during my fright I lost my bearings.
There was a lot of water In the boat now and I dared not stop to bail it out
for fear of tipping over. And finally after a long, hard row, my boat grated
on the' rocks. I climbed out, I was either on the main shore or on an Island.
But I couldn't tell which. I tipped over the boat, emptied the water, then clambered
up a hill. But where was I? Then I saw a light which I figured must be in the
village of Chippewa Bay. So I took a straight line toward it. I stumbled and
fell over rocks and scratched my hands and face from brambles. Suddenly, I realized
I was between two buildings. Being pretty well acquainted at the Bay, I figured
I was between Alec Allen's store' and his house. It was about 30 rods up the
road to my destination. Wet and cold, bruised and scratched, and nearly exhausted
I finally reached the place. And when I finally departed, I walked three miles
back through the woods in the darkness to get home to avoid rowing across the
bay again.
"Which goes to show you what foolish things a boy will do—just to see a girl!
Chippewa Bay, Chippewa Bay, I'll ne'er forget that trip, to my dying day."
(Signed) "Lewis H. Dake,"
Ogdensburg
Lewis was born on May
6, 1892 to parents Lewis and Nellie Dake. (I had received information that
he was adopted but never found proof of this.) He never married. He wrote
a book on doctoring using home remedies called: "The Economy Doctor Book for
Family Use" and listed himself as: author, prospector and sage of Soldier
Mountain. He lived much of his life in Woodland Park, CO. 
His great-nephew Tom Baker, told a story of how he obtained a copy of Lewis' book. "In the early 1960s I was stationed at Fort Carson Colorado which is a short distance from Woodland Park where Lewis lived. In one of the letters from my mom she included his address. After exchanging several letters I agreed to meet him at one of the local saloons. As I walked in the place there was one person setting at the bar. There was no doubt as to who he was. He looked exactly like my moms older brother Maurice but a generation older. He was small in stature standing about 5 foot 5 inches. I don't recall if he had a beard or not. He was known as Louie to all the local people. We sat and talked for a time about his life. He left St. Lawrence County New York at age 16 traveling across the country spending the winter working on a farm in central Illinois. I really don't know why he settled in Colorado perhaps it was gold fever. He was a prospector all his life. I do recall finding his draft registration somewhere on line. He stayed in town during the winter but in summer he lived in a dirt floor cabin in the mountains. In 1959 my grandfather Morley Charlton and grandmother Francis (Dake) Charlton (AHFFED) visited him at this cabin while on a western trip. One of my family members has a photo of Louis standing in the doorway of this cabin. I have seen this photo but have yet to find it. I am sure there are more photos than just this one. After talking for quite some time he asked me if I would like a copy of his book. He autographed it on the first page. I asked him if we could see his cabin. He said that there was still snow in the higher elevations but that we could travel to the snow line. He did have a car and what a car it was. As we walked out the back door of the saloon I couldn't believe my eyes. There sat his 1939 Oldsmobile 4 door sedan as long as a city block. The road to his cabin was just a grassy lane. We couldn't go very far before turning around because of the snowline. It was early April. In the years following we corresponded occasionally. Eventually we lost contact."
Lewis died on November
1978 at Pubelo, CO and is buried at Cripple Creek Cemetery, Teller, CO.

At the request of Secretary
George Harber, I submit the following account of my capture and internment by
the Germans in April and May of 1945.
It must be realized that at the age of 21, and in combat, we put little or no
importance on keeping any record of our experiences. It is only later in our
lives, that unit histories and family records come to the limelight. It is only
then that any fragment of note or memory is seized upon as the desert traveler
searches for the water in the oasis. Fortunately, I was able to obtain a "Merkbuch"
and pencil while prisoner and did make a few notes, not so much of historical
value but of human interest.
My story begins with the southward movement of the 20th Corps, to which we were
attached, the 19th of April 1945. We moved to a position 25 miles east of Bamberg,
Germany and were in the process of locating gun positions and OP's when the
use of my jeep and myself were requested by Colonel Yarnall. We were to go to
Chemnitz to attend an investigation of an incident in which we were to have
shot down one of our own aircraft (a P-51 Mustang) resulting in the death of
a U.S.A.F. Colonel. I only know this because I was on the site minutes after
the pilot crashed (after releasing his bombs) upside down into the side of a
hill. He was beheaded in the crash. All other information pertaining to this
Chemnitz meeting was contained in a brief carried by Warrant Officer Guy F.
Boyle and his assistant T/Sgt. Luther Sheldon. This information was placed in
the glove compartment of my jeep for the trip. I would love to read the official
report of that incident!
We departed the CP area on the morning of the 21st of April with enough gas
and rations for three days. Our barracks bags and personal belongings were left
at the CP, except for the things on our own person. Warrant Officer Boyle occupied
the seat next to me and Sgt. Sheldon rode in the back. We followed a route from
Hoilfeld to the German Autobahn and thence north to Chemnitz.
It sounded simple and. since Col. Yarnall assured us that Chemnitz was in U.S.
hands, we looked forward to a quiet and relaxing journey — might even be fun!
(How ignorant of danger are we when young!) Our trip up the German "Super Highway"
was uneventful except for the detouring of many bridge locations. There were
few bridges left standing so we had to drive around or through whatever they
were spanning —drove through water above the floor boards several times — thanks
for the durable jeep! Late in the afternoon we took the exit off the Autobahn
and headed for Chemnitz. After a few miles we encountered a group of Army Engineers
working on a small bridge about four miles from Chemnitz. We asked them if we
would have any trouble getting into Chemnitz. The Sgt. assured us it was held
by U.S. forces — "no problem." We continued on our way in the direction of the
city. By now it was late afternoon, pouring rain, and getting dark. I was kept
very busy dodging the shell holes in the road and burned-out vehicles. Suddenly
about 50 yards ahead I spotted through our rain-spattered windshield a pile
of trees across the road. I slammed on the brakes and stopped about five feet
short of the trees.
Oh! Oh! Road Block! Ambush! In a frantic effort to shift to "reverse" and turn
around I only got as far as "neutral" when all hell broke loose. Small arms
fire and one large caliber shot. The next thing I knew I was on my knees on
the pavement and bullets were flying everywhere. Sheldon & I dove for the side
of the road-.--no ditch for protection! Lying there I could see the grooves
being made by the bullets hitting the pavement. I shouted to Sheldon "We gotta
get up or we'll lay here 'til they hit us." He said, "I ain't moving." I had
two choices; get up and hope they stop firing or lay there and possibly be killed.
I chose the former, stood up, raised my hands and walked straight up to a group
of about 15 young boys and old men with rifles leveled at me from the underbrush.
While we were being taken into custody a German soldier rushed up to me with
a first aid kit already opened. It was only then that I realized I was bleeding
from the nose and left shin. He dressed the wounds and let me continue. I thanked
him by saying "Danka." I was next accosted by a young soldier, who turned out
to be a young blond girl, who took my billfold. She gave me the billfold back
after fleecing through it thoroughly and taking what she wanted. After a brief
search we were loaded back into our jeep (Sgt. Sheldon and I — we were not to
see W.O. Boyle again) and driven to the German headquarters deep inside the
city. It was only then that I noticed the hole in the metal part of the center
of the dashboard, clean and neat, about a 37mm. No wonder we were blown out
of the jeep! The streets of Chemnitz were an absolute mess — wires, wreckage
and rubble everywhere. Even the building where we were taken was half demolished.
(I learned later that Warrant Officer Boyle had been hit in the left shoulder
blade, the bullet exiting the left shoulder. He was taken to a German hospital.
He later was sent to a hospital in Belgium and recovered).
We were questioned thoroughly, and separately, by a German officer who spoke
perfect English. The only thing that sticks in my memory from the interrogation
are these two questions: "How many tanks are in you unit?" and "When will you
fight the Russians?" The latter question I thought to be very humorous at the
time. A very few years later, it became apparent that the seriousness of that
question was much better analyzed by the Germans than ourselves.
Late that night we were put into a small black panel truck with no windows and
driven to a POW facility at Gera where we were among a great many other prisoners
being separated by nationality and rank. We were only there one or two days
and then transported to Linda. We were told that the Russians were too close
so the prisoners were being moved. The greatest dread of the Germans was to
be captured by the Russians. The second was to be outnumbered in tanks.
The "prison" at Linda was an old rural schoolhouse. We were housed in one small
room (18 of us) with double decker bunks and loose straw for bedding and a small
wood-burning stove in one corner. There was a door to the rest of the building
at which a guard was posted and another door to an outside barbed-wire enclosure
of very small proportion. This was to be our 'home" for the duration.
It is strange how humor can seep into the darkest hours — but somehow the American
G.I. always managed to make that an important part of his survival kit. I remember
an incident with T/Sgt. Lowery (Mulberry, Fla.) who was an 8th Air Force crewman
shot down over Germany. He had only a pocket full of wheat for food for several
days before he was captured. There was a farmhouse about 50 yards from our enclosure
and he got the idea to strew a line of wheat from outside the barbed-wire fence
to the doorway in an attempt to lure one of the roaming chickens to our boiling
pot. He proceeded to do so and sure enough he grabbed it just inside the door,
wrung its neck, skinned it and hid the entrails underneath the straw of one
of the bunks — all in a matter of seconds. It was the only time we had any meat
to go with our boiled potatoes or turnips or half slice of black bread -- this
to be washed down with some very bland weed they called "tea." It was a joyous
occasion!
It did not last long! We were awakened very early the next morning with a shrill
blast from the guard's whistle. He shouted for us to line up and, thrusting
his Luger in each of our faces separately, he demanded "Who took the chicken?"
"Where is the chicken?" We did not need to know German to know what he said!
It seems the farmer's wife had come running to the guards quarters screaming
we had stolen her chicken. Anyway, no one gave an answer. I felt sure someone
was going to be shot as an example. Instead the guard searched for the chicken,
didn't find it and ran out the door extremely upset. It was then that fright
turned to Laughter and my pulse returned to normal.
We entertained ourselves as best we could by playing cards, talking about our
families, our outfits, and our capture. We even were able to have a long talk
with our guard and learned that he was a pilot who had been shot down and as
a result had lost the use of the fingers of his right hand. It was a terrible
shame because he had been a concert pianist before the war! One day we were
asked to go out into the woods and carry logs in for firewood, but we were told
that we could not beforced to do this because were non-commissioned officers.
But we were very happy to get a chance for a change of scenery and much needed
exercise. Can you imagine a German guard "asking" earlier in the war!
About two days after we were at Linda we were told that President Roosevelt
had died. Of course no one believed it and I did not know the truth until after
we were again with U.S. military forces. Being on an OP at the time and separated
from the rest of the battalion, this information never reached me.
Somewhere around the end of April we began to hear faint artillery fire or bombs.
We were not sure which. But as each day went by it became nearer and nearer
and by the second or third of May we began to hear small arms fire. The nervousness
and uneasiness of our guards was very obvious. The end was near. They knew it
and we knew it. We cheered every time the nearby guns spoke.
On the 4th of May part of our group decided that they wanted to attempt an escape
that night. The following is a list of those men who chose to escape, and their
home address at the time:
Pvt. Raymond Gutierrez -- 308 8th St., Gilroy, CA
Pvt. Owen S. Steele -- 848 N.W. 76th St., Miami, FL
Sgt. Lloyd Lowery—Box 2565, Mulberry, FL
Pvt. Leland L. Davis—5834 Cedros Ave., Van Nuys, CA
Pfc. Roy Lance—Route #1, Erwin, TN
Pvt. Frank Pedati—68 Oakland Ave., Jersey City, NJ
The rest of their episode appears later in this account.
The 8th of May! The war is over—but not for us! This turned out to be a very
dangerous interlude. Our guards had disappeared and we were still in a Russian
combat zone. We were on our own — not yet in contact with the Russians and about
18 miles from the American lines. We decided to head for the village of Linda.
I don't think it was much more than a mile or two. We followed the edge of a
wooded area passing no more than 20 or 30 yards in the rear of the last German
defenses which were a few machine guns and the rest riflemen. As their magazines
were emptied they turned and fled the oncoming Russians. We kept going, paying
no heed to the flying bullets until we got to the center of the village. Not
one soul around — white flags in all the windows. We wondered. To whom were
they surrendering? We went up the street, where the ground was higher, to try
to get a better view. Russian tanks had completely encircled the town! A Russian
convoy was almost to the town. What a mishmash of transport - lend-lease Studebaker
trucks (most with no tires), hand pulled carts, bicycles and horses and wagons.
It looked like they just drove their vehicles until they quit — no maintenance,
no repairs — leave them where they die.
Ed Gavlik (Elizabeth City, NH, 6th Armored Division) liberated a Luger from
one of the German soldiers (now dressed in civilian clothes) and hid it inside
his shirt. The Russians came storming into town firing their machine guns at
anything and everything. I remember that two of our men ran across the street
from the cafe, where we had sought refuge, and into a shoe store. They were
going to get some new shoes! We heard the sputtering of a machine gun and they
came flying out the door. It seems a Russian soldier had the same idea but first
he did his usual thing by spraying the ceiling with bullets. Our poor guys were
upstairs!
The Russians came into the cafe, sprayed the interior with bullets, and proceeded
to drink anything and everything in sight. I wondered how many of their casualties
were the result of this type of activity! Fortunately for us Ed Gavlik could
understand and speak Russian so he hit it off with a Russian Major and from
then on our wish was his command. A civilian pointed out a Nazi sympathizer.
The Russian Major pulled him outside, knelt him down by the side of the road
and put a bullet through the man's head. We were taken to a farmhouse where
the Major demanded food. When the farmer pleaded that he had none, he was tied
to a chair and ordered to produce some or be shot! It took a lot of talking
by Ed Gavlik to prevent this from happening. From there we went to another home
and we, and the Russians, were treated to the best meal we had had in a very
long time. I still wonder where the farmer got the food. Whatever the source,
it sure was a feast!
The next morning we were treated to very thick and very hot oatmeal from a huge
Russian Army outdoor kettle. Now it was time to think about getting back to
the American lines, but where were they and how far? The decision was made to
take the first highway that looked like it might be a main highway and head
west.
No way did we want to be the guests of the Russians for months! (Thousands of
freed POW's were put in stockades by Russians. Many were not returned to the
U.S. military until many months after the war and many others were shot trying
to escape.) Anyway, Gaylik with his pistol rounded up enough bicycles for everyone
and off we went. The highway was clogged with refugees making their weary way
east. It was difficult trying to make any headway against this massive human
tide. (Russian planes strafed the refugee columns with P-38 Lightnings). A few
of us were separated from the rest at times but all managed to get back together.
After approximately 18 miles of this we spotted a jeep in the distance, approaching
from a side road. As it got nearer we were able to see a U.S. Army Major standing
up and waving his arms. He stopped a few yards from us and ran to us and shook
our hands, saying loud and clear "Welcome back!" We finally felt safe! We finally
felt free! He led us back to his infantry CP where we identified ourselves and
were given our first G.I. meal in quite some time. Because our stomachs were
considerably shrunken we ate very little, but we sure enjoyed it. We were even
offered "A spot of tea" by a British Army unit across the road. We respectfully
declined! "Where ya bee+ mate? Guests of the Jerries?"
After about an hour we were loaded into a truck and driven to Gera (May 10)
to a POW debriefing center. We answered many, many questions and signed our
statements. We were separated from the many nationalities May 11, packed 50
to a truck standing room only, bound for Weimar airport. Our long convoy was
passing through a wooded area when a whole series of tremendous explosions occured!
The truck in front of us was knocked out and the driver killed. Some of the
trucks were turned over. Many were injured. We pulled around the wreckage and
continued on our way. We soon encountered an MP who said that they had just
blown up an ammunition dump! Great timing! Arrived at Weimar Airport with no
further ado.
On May 12, 1945, 11:50 a.m., we boarded C-47's, which had been used as paratroop
planes, with just aluminum shell for a seat. We joined in formations of 9 aircraft
and flew very low all the way to LeHarve. We had a birdseye view of the destruction
wrought through the years of the war — a terrible reminder of hundreds of battles
and bombings and loss of human life. One sees the terrible price of liberty
and freedom. Will we continue to take them for granted as we did before this
struggle? Is there some other lunatic waiting in the wings to test our mettle?
We landed at LeHarve at 1:30 pm whereupon we were again loaded on trucks and
transported to Camp Lucky Strike, about 40 miles from LeHarve. This was one
of the five RAMP (Recovered American Military Personnel) camps in the area.
They were all named after cigarette brands. Here we were deloused, had our first
shower in months, questioned again, reoriented, given new uniforms (clean clothes
at last!) and put up in tents. Much to our chagrin, we were not going home for
a while. The almost constant rain and dampness in our tents further lowered
our morale. As it turned out, I was to spend the next 25 days in this environment.
I contracted an infection in both feet which I was not able to get rid of until
many months after the war.
We were put on an exclusive diet of stewed chicken and egg-flog to gain back
our weight and recondition our digestive systems. Remember, most of these men
had spent years as POW's and their stomachs were down to the size of a baseball!
Reconditioning had to be done very carefully or serious medical problems or
even death could result.
I do not remember all that we did to occupy those days but I had noted in my
"Merkbuch" three movies: "Bowery to Broadway" with Jack Oakie, Maria Montez,
Donald O'Connor and Peggy Ryan; "Two Down and One To Go"; "Destination Tokyo".
It was a distasteful reminder that we were still at war with Japan. There were
still men fighting and dying to complete the task that was before us in 1941.
One of the most moving moments for me was when General Eisenhower toured our
camp and stopped every so often, to stand up in his jeep and welcome us back.
He was answered with rousing cheers each time. It must also be noted here that
we learned that the 6 fellow prisoners who escaped from Linda on May 4 (we had
advised them it was too near the end of the war to take such a chance) were
all recaptured. Two were recaptured by the S.S., one by the Russians and three
by the Germans. Those captured by the fanatic S.S. were severely beaten and
one had an extremely rough time before he was released from a Russian stockade.
As it turned out, three more days was all that they would have had to wait!
On June 5, one day short of the first anniversary of D-Day, we boarded the Navy
transport Admiral William S. Benson, together with 5,012 liberated prisoners
and 194 members of the 97th Infantry Division headquarters staff. The voyage
back across the Atlantic was much smoother and much faster than the North Atlantic
was in October of 1944! Finally, on June 12, we entered New York harbor — 9
ships and 16,845 troops. * We were welcomed by that great lady, The Statue of
Liberty. There were no words to express one's feelings at that instant! As promised
in the last line of my poem "Troopship," we had indeed "Come back this way again."
*Some of the units represented were the 1st, 4th and 45th Divisions, the 3rd
Ranger Division, the 4th, 7th and 9th Armored Divisions and 8th Air Force.
