EDWARD DEAKE FAMILY
AFA. IMMANUEL
DEAKE (DAKE)
Immanuel was the oldest son of Edward Deake and Mary Adams (Gould) Deake born
on April 3, 1759 at Charlestown, Kings Co., R.I. He was listed in the 1777 military
census as living in Charleston, R.I. He served three years in the Revolutionary
War and received a pension for service (S16105). He served as a Sargeant Major
under Col. Willett Regiment and Col. Wright's Company. He returned from the War
in 1783 and stated later, "I was married a short time after the War by my father
who was a Clergyman, first at Ballstown and then at Charlton." On Nov. 29, 1784
he was married to a widow Lucresa Wiatt in the Presbyterian Church at Ballston
Center, Saratoga Co., N.Y.
While by his own statement, he was married by his father the following record
would indicate otherwise: From the records of the First Presbyterian Church, Ballston,
Saratoga Co., NY "At a place called the five thousand acres, at the house
of the Widow Wiatts, November the 29 day 1784; I married Mr. Emanual Dake and
Mrs. Lucreas Waitt, both of that place. (gift 11 shillings), test. Ebenezer Martin,
Minister of the Gospel".
By 1790 he was living in Washington Co., N.Y. moving there with his father and
other family members. In 1803 he moved his family to Woodstock, Ontario, Canada.
The family lived around Woodstock, Johnstown and Kempville, Ontario. During this
period he was married several times. In 1832 when the U.S. Congress voted a pension
for all remaining veterans of the War he deceided to move back to the U.S. Due
to poor health it was 1833 before Immanuel and many of his children moved back
to the U.S. settling in the town of Hammond, St. Lawrence Co., N.Y. He was listed
in the 1840 N.Y. Census at age 79 still living in Hammond, St. Lawrence Co., in
the David Fell household, his son-in-law. He died in Hammond, St. Lawrence Co.,N.Y.
on March 13, 1847.
Application for Pension
State of New York
St. Lawrence County
On this fifteenth day of October 1832 personnally appeared before the Honourable
John Fine first Judge of the Court of Common Pleas in and for the County of St.
Lawrence in tthe state of New York, Immanuel Dake of Hammond in the County of
St. Lawrence & State aforesaid, age seventy four years the third day of April
nextr, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the
following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by
the act of Congress, passed June 1, 1832; that he enlisted in the army of the
United States in the year 1779 or 1780 at Ballston in the County of Saratoga in
the state of New York, where he resided with his parents, in a company commanded
by Capt. Job Wright of Stillwater in said county & in a regiment commanded
by Col. Willet. At the time that declarent enlisted, one Ike Shubbell was a Lieutenant
& one Thornton was also a Lieutenant. Declarent enlisted as First- Sargent
& served as such during three years for which time this declarent enlisted.
Declarent joined the Regiment, or several companies of it at Johnstown. From Johnstown
this declarent went with his company to Fort Nellis, now in the town of Manheim
in the county of Herrkimer. Declarent remained one summer & part, if not all
of the spring & autumn at said Fort Nellis. Form Fort Nellis to Fort Herkimer
& from hence declarent went to Fort Stanwix (now Rome) & remained there
sometime. While declarent was on an island there, the water of the river rose
so high as to compel the soldiers to leave therre & go ashore-- When they
got ashore they built a block house & from thence declarent went to Fort Herkimer.
Declarent was during this enlistment at Fort Plain & at a small place called
Fort Schuyler. Declarent cannot state at which of the last named places he was
at first. Declarent cannot state at which of the last named places he was at first.
Declarent well recollects that when he was onetime at Fort Herkimer, a reinforcement
said to have been a part of Rhode Island regiment, joined the part of Colonel
Willet's regiment to which declarent belonged & went from thence to Fort Stanwix
& then arranged to go to Oswego. Declarent believes there were five companies
of Col. Willet's regiment that started for Oswego. He cannot recollect how many
there were of the Rhode Island reinforcement. Declarent well recollects that this
was in the dead of winter--there were Indian guides employed--One he thinks was
called Capt. John. They travelled several days through the snow, as thhey supposed,
toward Oswego. A great number , said to have been five hundred persons went ahead
on snowshoefs--that instead of leading the army to Oswego, the guides led us into
a swamp about nine miles, it was afterwards aceertained, from Oswego. After it
was found out that we were misled, fires were built to warm us, when it was ascertained
that a great number were frozen considerably--A great many died & one company,
mostly colored persons nearly all died--When we started on our return to Fort
Stanwix our provisions werrre nearly all exhausted & the last five days before
we arrived at Fort Stanwix we had no provisions except head horse flesh, or something
of that kind.
A great number of persons died on this expedition--At Oswego there lay some British
forces under command of Maj. Ross. Two of the Indian guides were supposed to have
perished. When on our return to Oneida Lake declarent was ordered to see to settleing
and taking care of the guard. After setting the guard declarent saw some more
on top of the hill, but as we were exposed, no noise was made, lest the enemy
should discover us in our reduced situuation, for if they had done so we could
have been easily taken. Declarent afterwards learned that the British Sargeant
of the Guard saw us but hid himself behind an elm tree and did not communicated
to his friends what he had seen & that soon after he and a fifer deserted
& joined us at Fort Herkimer. This declarent further says that the British
sent a flag of truce then & there to get these two deserters but Col. Willet
would not give them up. After leaving Oneida Lake, we went to Fort Stanwix &
from thence to Fort Herkimer where we staid till near fall-- The last work we
did there was to build a Block house--After it was completed we dug up the body
of Capt. McKeun who had been killed by the Indians & buried his body at the
step of the door & then called the building Fort McKeun. the timber which
composed this building was got out & drawn principally under the direction
of Declarent. Veeder & Smith were contractors to supply our regiment with
provisions & their postman one Skinner acted as commisary. While at Fort Herkimer
Skinner got hurt by the falling of a building & he then reqauested declarent
to into the storehouse & act as commisary & declarent did so until said
Skinner got able to attend to the duty himself. Declarent went as pilot for Genl.
Washington for Fort Herkimer to Rome in the night. Declarent went with the regiment
at the close of the war to Schenectady & assisted in collecting the arms,
when the companies were disbanded, Declarent then assited in taking the arms over
from Schenectady to Albany where they were put into a store house & declarent
thinks they were put into the government war storehouse. Declarent returned to
Schenectady & was finally discharged by Maj. Tierce, who then had command
of the companies that were marched to Schenectady--Declarent thinks that at this
time Col. Willet had gone south to Albany or New York. He was not with the regiment
much of the time after the return of the army from Oswego. During this service
Plinny More was Adjutant. This disbandment of our regiment was after peace was
proclaimed & we had only about three months more time to serve when peace
was proclaimed. Declarent cannot state in connecting order the places where was
during this service any further than he had done.
Declarent was born in Charlestown in the state of Rhode Island in the year 1759
& he had a record of his age in his family bible at his own residence &
he has no other record--& that he resided with his parents at Ballston in
the state of New York when he enlisted & he resided there after his return
from the army & then declarent went to Charlton in the same state to reside.
Deponent knows Luther Samphin & Orin Brown of Hammond who can attest to the
character & reputation of declarent.
Declarent has no proof of his services, except the affidavit of Solomon Uker hereunto
annexed, further than he has stated that he is now aware of.
He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity, except the
present & declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency
of any state.

Ex-school chief
Donald Dake dies
SOUTH BEND -- Donald A.
Dake, a longtime supporter of the arts and a former South Bend Community School
Corp. superintendent, died Monday in South Bend. He was 81.
Dake, of Robinhood Lane, served the South Bend schools for more than 40 years
as a teacher, administrator and superintendent before his retirement in 1979.
He held the top position in the school system during one of the most challenging
decades in the system's history. He became superintendent in 1969 at the height
of student protests and in an age of racial change. The desegregation of city
schools occupied much of Dake's time and talent and he was known for accomplishing
the task without taking a confrontational approach.
As recently as 1990, Dake was selected by U.S. District Judge Allen Sharp to monitor
the desegregation process in the Fort Wayne schools. He was charged with making
sure that Fort Wayne Community Schools and a citizens group called Parents for
Quality Education with Integration held to a plan for racially balancing elementary
schools in that city. During his decade of service at the helm of the South Bend
schools, Dake witnessed and led the adoption of the middle school approach in
the city, and he oversaw the controversial task of closing Central High School
and converting Jackson from a high school to a middle school.
He was known for his long-standing support of the arts, and he helped form the
Michiana Arts and Sciences Council. Dake also worked to promote the efforts of
the South Bend Symphony, the Michiana Opera Guild and the Michiana Public Broadcasting
Corp.
He was born in April 1917, in Flint, Mich., and earned his bachelor's degree from
Michigan State University and his master's degree from Indiana University. He
served in the Army Air Corps during World War II.
During his days with the South Bend schools, Dake was a teacher at John Adams
High School, director of pupil personnel for the schools and was a principal at
Riley High School. He also served as director of secondary education and assistant
superintendent of instruction. In 1988 he was inducted into the South Bend School
Boosters Hall of Fame.
The recipient of many major honors for his civic commitment, Dake received the
South Bend Rotary Club's Distinguished Community Service Award in 1985. He earned
the Michiana Arts and Sciences Council Community Arts Award in 1980 and was honored
with a community tribute dinner after his retirement from the school system in
1979. He also served as vice chairman of the board of the South Bend Symphony
and as chairman of the board of the Snite Museum of Art.
Dake and his wife, Marijane, had one son, Michael David Dake. Welsheimer Funeral
Home is in charge of arrangements.

AFAJC. Crawley P. Dake
Major Crawley P. Dake of
Romeo, Michigan Chief-Deputy United States Marshal for the Eastern District
of Michigan, was born at Kempville, Ontario, September 15, 1836 to parents Gamiliel
Dake and Sophia Garlick. Both his parents were natives of New England. He removed
with them when twelve years of age, from Canada to Ogdensburg, St. Lawrence
Co., New York.
Having obtained a good common school education, he went to Romeo, Michigian,
at the age of eighteen, and was there employed as a drugists clerk in a store
belonging to his elder brother. Subsequently, he became partner in a drug store
at Armada.
In 1862 during the second year of the Civil War upon a call for more troops,
he received authority to raise a company of men; he recruited one hundred and
twenty men in Macomb County, and was mustered in as Captain, August 14, 1862.
His company was attached to the 5th Mich. Cavalry, which rendezvoused at Detroit
while organizing, and was the first full Company of that Regiment, which was
under the command of Colonel J. T. Copeland. The Regiment left for the seat
of war in Virginia in December 1862; it was one of the four Regiments comprising
the Michigan Cavalry Brigade, under the command of General George A. Custer,
which did some of the severest fighting of the War. Captain Dake was promoted
to the rank of Major, December 31, 1862. He participated with his command in
the following engagements: Hanover,Va. Huntertown and Gettysburg, Penn.; Monterey,
Cavetown, Southtown, Boonsboro, Hagerstown, Williamsport and Falling Waters,
Maryland; Snicker Gap, Culpepper Courthouse, Roccoon Ford, White's Ford, Jocob's
Shop, James City, Brady's Station, Buckland Mills, Stevensburg, Mortons' Ford,
The Wilderness, Beaver Dam Station, Yellow Tavern,Meadow Bridge, Milford, Hack's
Shop, Baltimore Cross-roads, Trevilliam Station and Cold Harbor, Virginia.
On August 19, 1864, Major Dake resigned his commission at Harper's Ferry, and
returned to Michigan to assist in raising another Regiment, to be known as the
30th Michigan Infantry, of which he had the appointment of Lieutenant-Colonel.
After eight companies were raised, however, they were distributed among the
3rd and 4th Michigan Regiments, at the urgent call for troops for General Sherman's
Army; and the raising of the 30th Regiment was abondoned. Lt. Col. Dake continued
the work of recruiting men for the Army until the close of the War, when he
returned to Romeo. He was married to Catherine E. Smith.
In May 1869, he was appointed by President Hayes, Assessor of Internal Revenue
of the Fifth Collection District of Michigan and subsequently, when the offices
of Assessor and Collector were consolidated, he was appointed Collector. This
office he held until the consolidation of the two Districts, in March 1877.
He soon after received the appointment of Chief-Deputy United States Marshal
for the Eastern District of Michigan. In 1876, Dake had resigned his position
in the Internal Revenue Service to run for the position of State Representative
from Macomb County. Although the county had a Democrat majority of some 600
voters, he lost the election by only twelve votes. Dake, of course, was a Republican.
On June the 12th, 1878, Dake accepted the position of United States Marshal
for the Arizona Territory, with his salary dependent upon the fees collected.
See copy of Appointment to US Marshall..
It is one of the ironies of history that Dake was a man much more likely to
be found at home with his wife and child, than carousing in a dance hall or
standing in the center of main street with his six guns a blazing. Dake was
more a bureaucrat than he was a gun fighter, furthermore he was plagued by the
hip wound acquired in the Civil War which caused considerable suffering until
his death. Dake, therefore, delegated most of the actual federal law enforcement
to his deputies. He originally appointed Virgil Earp (Wyatt Earp's brother)
to be Marshall of Tombstone, AZ. In January 1882, after Virgil Earp was ambushed
and seriously wounded by Jonny Ringo, U.S. Marshal Dake of the Arizona Territory,
visited Tombstone, AZ with the acting Governor, John J. Gosper, and appointed
Wyatt Earp to clean up the territory and run Johnny Ringo out of town. On
July 18, 1882, Zan L. Tidball replaced Dake as U.S. Marshal, but he continued
to live at Prescott. In the history of Tombstone, AZ, the mention of Crawley
was not very positive. It was stated that he would only come to help for the
money (His salary was dependent on fees collected, so this was a fact of life
but didn't leave a positive impression on the town folks).
Dake remained in Prescott where he managed his mining and business interests
until his death on April 9, 1890. He died from complications of his old Civil
War wounds.
From
the Prescott Journal-Miner, April 16, 1890:
"Another Veteran
Gone.
Although Major C. P.
Dake had been confined to his room for nearly a year and a half, the community
was considerably surprised yesterday afternoon, to learn that he had died, as
it was not generally known that his condition had changed for the worse.
Early in the war of
the rebellion, C. P. Dake raised a company at his home in Michigan, and was
afterwards promoted to be major of the regiment to which it was assigned, and
he made a record as a brave soldier. It was during an engagement that he received
a wound which never healed, and which after all these years was the cause of
his death.
Coming to Arizona,
he was appointed United States marshal for the territory, at a time, too, when
it required tact and nerve to fill the position, but the duties of which were
discharged by him in a manner to reflect credit. Since retiring from this office,
he has been engaged in business pursuits until over a year ago, when he was
compelled to retire on account of sickness and has ever since been confined
to the house.
The funeral took place
this afternoon at 3 o'clock from the family residence on Marina street, and
the remains were followed to their last resting place by a large concourse of
sorrowing friends and citizens of Prescott."

For Upwards of Quarter Century Passes Away Suddenly at His Home Here
Luman Dake, one of the best known hotelmen in Ontario and for many years a prominent
citizen of St. Thomas, died unexpectedly at his home, 721 Talbot street, on Saturday

He died, at age 44, on Feb. 3, 1955 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, due to head
injuries resulting from a fall. Following is a newspaper articles concening
his death and funeral.
NO FOUL PLAY IN DAKE
DEATH
No evidence of foul play
has been discovered in connection with the death of Adrian W. (Bud) Dake 44, local
tobacconist, Thursday evening in Toronto General Hospital.
Mr. Dake was believed to have died as a result of a staircase fall in which he
banged his head against a wall, but the nature of his injuries raised the questions
of possible foul play in the minds of Toronto police.. They requested an investigation
by local police which was conducted by acting detective John Bingeman.
Mr. Dake died a few hours after his arrival at Toronto General Hospital where
he was rushed on Thursday from the local general hospital for an emergency brain
operation. Dr. C. A. Bell of Port Stanley who answered a call to the Dake home
at 9 p.m. last Tuesday and who sent him to St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital,
told Detective Bingeman that Mr. Dake had a large amount of money on his person
when he arrived at hospital. Further investigation by the detective revealed that
nothing had been touched in the smoke shop at 719 Talbot Street. An employee of
the shop, Jack Dummer, reported Mr. Dake had entered his apartment above the shop
at about 12:45 a.m. on Tuesday, checking radiators. Mr. Dummer said his employer's
hands were dirty and his topcoat oil-stained. Mr. Dummer added that Dake was reading
a newspaper in the shop when he got to work at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday morning. He said
Dake did not appear to have been injured and did not complain of having been hurt.
Fred Luscombe, of 5 Manitoba Street, said that at 10 a.m. Tuesday, Mr. Dake complained
of an injury to his right leg. By 1:15 p.m., Mr. Dake seemed confused, Luscombe
told the officer. In concluding his report Detective Bingeman said that Dake had
apparently slipped on a patch of oil in the basement of the smoke shop and possibly
hit his head in a fall. Dr. Bell's examination revealed that Mr. Dake had suffered
a fractured skull, abrasions to the back of his head, right knee and left elbow.
He also had blood in his nose and right ear.

Following is an article in the St. Thomas Times concerning his wifes' death:
YOUNG WIFE ASPHYXIATED
A very sad occurrence took
place at the home of Colborne Dake, 9421 Champagne Avenue, Chicago, last Friday
night, when his wife met an untimely death by asphyxiation. Mr. Dake is an engineer
on the Illinois Centeral and son of Mr. Lew Dake of St. Thomas, formerly of the
Dake House, Norwich. Mr. Dake left home Friday afternoon at 5 o'clock to make
his usual run, leaving his wife alone at home. When he returned at nine o'clock
the next morning he found the house locked. Smashing in the window of his wife's
room with an axe, a rush of gas poured out. Mrs. Dake was found dead in bed, and
on the floor was the lifeless body of her pet dog. An examination revealed the
fact that the escaping gas was not from an open spigget , but from a defect in
the gas stove near the metre. The doctors said the deceased had been dead between
two and three hours when found. The late Mrs. Dake, who was formerly Miss Jennie
Bush, of Port Dover, was only 24 years of age, and had been married only about
two years. She was to have gone to her old home at Port Doiver on a visit last
Monday, and had written her brothers and sisters to that effect. Instead, it was
her dead body which they assembled at the Port Dover station to meet, interment
taking place at the family cemetery at that place. A pathetic feature of the case
was that the new silk dress which her husband had gotten for her to wear home
on her visit was destined to be the shroud in which she was buried. Deceased left
no children.

Luke Dake Family
AFHAA. Louis Byron Dake
Louis was born Jan. 24, 1837 to parents Luke Dake and Alta Bowen Dake
in Cattaraugus Co., NY. He was also known as Lewis Byron Dake. He married Huldah
Maria Henry on Jan. 01, 1807 at Collins Center, Erie Co., NY. (she was born on
July 3, 1848 at Napoli, Cattaraugus Co., NY and died Apr. 28, 1928 at Blackduck,
Beltrami Co., MN). They were married by her father, Rev. John Newton Henry (mother
was Diana Merchant). Her father was a Methodist Minister and had served in the
49th New York Vol. Infantry during the Civil War as a Hospital Steward. He was
now both a doctor and minister. They lived for several years in Dayton, NY. After
Louis and Huldah (called Minnie) were married they moved to Pleansantville, Venango
Co., PA where Louis was involved with the big Oil industry that had sprung up
in the area. Huldah's brother Charles related in a written account, "he learned
to run the oil pumps and earned some money until his father (John Henry) advised
him to return to his home in New York and prepare for the family journey to their
new home in Minnesota." He sold 156 acres in Lot 13, Town 5, Rage 9 on March
25, 1869 to Michael McFarlane. They had a son Frederick on Dec. 27, 1870; later
a daughter Lula and a son Albert. After about ten years of marriage something
went wrong between Louis and Minnie. Minnie ran away but returned a short time
later and hired a man to kidnap the children (Frederick, Lula and Albert) while
they were at recess from school. She immediately got on a train and headed for
Minnesota. Her father John Newton Henry had left New York for Minnesota where
he was a doctor and minister in Champlin, Hennepin Co., MN. She made her home
with her parents while she tried to get things back to order. It was shortly after
she arrived that she added "Van" to Dake, making the surname Van Dake. It was
either to make the name more fancy or maybe to hide from her husband. (There was
a Luke Dake however in Penfield, NY who had made the same surname change earlier).
It may have been for money reasons that Minnie left Louis. Louis had been brought
into court, for reasons not listed, but was placed in jail anyway before the trial
and the persons who had him arrested never appeared to testify. He was fined for
jail and court expenses, but did not have any money to pay so he was released.
(Huldah was later married to a Mr. Webber or Weaver and a third marriage to Henry
Warren Sr. and lived for a time in Grafton, North Dakota). In the 1880 census
for Venango County he was listed as having assets as one mare and household items
worth $40.00 After his fathers death he cared for his stepmother Mable. He died
about 1910 in Jamestown, NY in the County Poor House

Louis Byron Dake Family
AFHAAA. Frederick Evelon Van Dake
Frederick was born Dec. 27, 1870 to parents Louis Byron Dake and Huldah
Maria Henry at Pleasantville, Venango Co., PA. His surname was changed by his
mother to Van Dake. He married Jessie Maud Cook on Aug. 21, 1895 in Champlin,
Hennepin Co., MN. (She was born Aug 31, 1872 in Grand Rapids, MI). Frederick was
married a second time to Margaret Burns about 1917. He married a third time to
Emma Anna Zopfi on Nov. 25, 1925 in Minneapolis, Hennepin Co., MN. (she was the
daughter of Balthasar Zopfi and Regula Blesi, born Nov. 19, 1886 in Maple Grove
Township, Hennepin Co., MN and died Dec. 4, 1965 in Osseo, Hennepin Co., MN).
Frederick died Aug 11, 1952 at Osseo, Hennepin Co., MN.
The following are notes by Byron Van Dake on his parents:
Fred was a very hard worker and always had some kind of ajob even during the
period of the great depression. Some of his earliest jobs were out near the towns
of Lemmon, S.D. and Hettinger, N.D.. He told me of his experiences working for
ranchers in that area. One bad experience he had was while driving a span of horses,
pulling a hay wagon, during a very severe snowstorm he froze his feet. As a result
of this it was necessary to have his toes amputated. Forever after everyone would
comment on my father's small shoe size, not realizing that he did not have any
toes. During the first part of the depression my father worked at the Lincoln
flourmill in Anoka. It seems like he must have made a fairly good living, because
we even had a model "T" Ford. Later as his eyesight began to fail and the mill
in Anoka closed, everything became a little tougher. That, I believe, is when
my folks decided to turn our home into a boarding house. For some time we had
several men who lived with us and paid for room and board. One of the men who
lived with us for a short time was "William Edwin Joslyn", my future wife's Grandfather.
My father's eyesight continued to fail until he was totally blind. He use to tell
me all he could really see was the difference between night and day. My father
died on August 11, 1952, the same day our daughter Cynthia Kay was born. As I
was waiting in the hospital waiting room for our daughter's birth, a nurse came
into the room and said, " You are the father of a beautiful baby girl." The next
nurse into the room told me that my sister Marie had just called and said that
my father had just passed away.
Notes for EMMA ANNA ZOPFI:
Emma Anna Zopfi Was born in Osseo, Hennepin County, Minnesota and lived there
her entire life. She was as honest as A. Lincoln. If someone gave her too much
money for an item she would walk miles to return it. If the opposite were true,
if someone under paid her for something, she would also walk many miles to get
the money owed to her. Emma was a hard working person, after my father's eye sight
began to fail, she not only took care of the chores around the house, she had
many jobs outside the home. She set up some sort of house cleaning business where
she would clean homes, scrub floors in bars, and in several other business concerns
around Osseo. I can remember many years after my mother had died and we went in
to buy a new Ford car. The owner, a Mr Larson said, that he would give us a really
special buy because of my mother and his memories of her, and her good work. He
told us how she worked so hard keeping his home and his garage in Osseo so clean
that all his family, friends, and customers of his business commented on how nice
his home and his place of business was always so clean. We drove this Ford car
for many miles and finally gave it to our daughter Cindy who was working in the
Grand Canyon at the time. A few years later as she was driving home to Minnesota
through South Dakota, this very same car had engine trouble and had to be left
in South Dakota for junk. My Son Bruce went to South Dakota and drove Cindy back
to Minnesota.
Emma, in her younger days, worked as Telephone Operator in Osseo. After her marriage
to William Gosslin she had three daughters. At that time they lived in North Minneapolis
where William operated a Hardware Store on West Broadway. As the story was told
to me (Byron Van Dake) William died young, of a cerebral hemorrhage, while at
work in the hardware store. It then fell upon Emma to try and raise the three
girl's single-handed. During some periods after William's death and before Emma's
marriage to Fred Van Dake the young girls would spend time with their aunts and
uncles (Zopfi's and Blesi's) that lived on farms outside of Osseo. Mer the union
with Fred Van Dake, the couple lived in a large home in Osseo, Hennepin Co., Minnesota.
This home was given to Fred and Emma by quit claim deeds from Emma's brothers
and sisters in exchange for Fred and Emma taking care of Emma's mother, Regula
(Blesi) Zopfi who was very elderly and was becoming senile.
After Fred died on August 12, 1952, Emma lived in the original home in Osseo until
she purchased the home of her deceased sister Maria (Mary) Zopfi Ruegg. Her husband
Mathias Ruegg had died in 1934 and Mary died some time later. Emma then bought
this home from her Niece Ernestine who was working and living in San Francisco,
California at the time. Emma lived alone in this home until death in 1965. As
a settlement of the estate my half sister Kathleen and her husband, Wallace Beltrand
took over the property. They took the house down, and then sold the property to
the Catholic Church. The local Catholic Church then built a playground there to
be used in association with their secondary school across the street.

stayed at home on the farm until he arrived at the age of seventeen when he enlisted
Aug. 20, 1861 as a private in Co. D, Sixth Regiment, Michigan Volunteer Infantry
and was mustered into the serive of that date at Kalamazoo, Michigan. His history
as related by himself is as follows: " The regiment remained at Kalamazoo for
drill about three weeks, the we boarded the train for Baltimore Md. via Cleveland,
Pittsburgh, and Harrisburg. Remained in Baltimore about six months then joined
the Army of the Cumberland at Newport News, Va. remaining there for drill about
one month. We then embarked on the Steamer Constitution for Ship Island in the
Gulf of Mexico, with the Fourth Wisconsin, Twenty-first and Sixth Mich. contituting
three thousand men, including officers. The voyage lasted three nights and two
days. We had a very rough passage off the southern coast of Florida and Cuba.
Remained on Ship Island about six weeks for drill, with orders to be ready to
embark for Louisiana to enter the mouth of the Mississippi River where we expected
to assist in the capture of Fort Jackson and Fort St. Philip, situated between
New Orleans and the mouth of the Mississippi. The Union Gun Boats under the command
of Commodore Farragut - who succeeded in running the blocade - ordered the forts
to surrender or he would destroy the City of New Orleans and ghe forts did surrender.
Then we were ordered on board the schooner "Great Republic," a large four master
with the same three regiments on board that was on the Steamer "Constitution".
And were towed from Ship Island to the mouth of the Mississippi River by Gun Boat
No. 4. We were transferred from this boat onto different gun boats of the Union
Navy and landed at New Orleans - the Sixth Michigan being the second regiment
to be landed on the wharves of the captured City. We remained there only one week
when we were ordered on board a Mississippi River steamer and went as far north
as Vicksburg, where we remained about one week at anchor. At this time Grant's
army had surrounded Vicksburg with the Union fleet above and below it, and no
other fortifications or blockades between Vicksburg and tthe mouth of the Mississippi
River. Then we were ordered back to New Orleans. As we were passing Grand (Gulf)
a Rebel Battery of six pieces of artillery opened fire on our transport, firing
in all sixty two shots, only three shots striking the boat with very little damage.
Our escort was three gunboats, which were about six miles in advance of us. On
hearing this cannonading they returned and we went back to Grand Gulf, effected
a landing with our soldiers, remained there all night taking supplied of all kinds
that we needed, set the town on fire, reembarked and made a landing at Baton Rouge,
where we remained about two weeks. Before leaving we burned the State house -
set Baton Rouge on fire also and returned to New Orleans - were encomped outside
the city for several days. Then we crossed the river to Algiers wen down into
Texas - known as the --------- country where we sank the gun boat "Cotton". Returned
to Algiers and again embarked on a Mississippi River transport - to a place called
Carlton Landing. Then we were sent across the country thru several miles of Cykpress
swamp to a railroad known at that time as the New Orleans and Gt. Northern. There
we met and defeated a small body of rebels who were guarding the railroad and
up to this time were burning trains to the suburbs of New Orleans. Here we burned
R.R. bridges, tore up several miles of track and returned to Carlton; thence to
New Orleans. Then we marched up the New Orleans, Jackson, and Gt. Northern to
Lake Ponchitrain remaining there in camp about three weeks - then going further
North to a place called Ponchatula where we met and had a sharp skirmage with
the Confederates. Several of our regiment being wounded - from there we returned
to New Orleans - was encamped in the city for about six months - from there were
ordered to Baton Rouge - remaining there some time then attacked by the Rebels
- our Brigade was under command of Gen. Williams then. We lost and killed about
six hundred men. Gen. Williams was also killed in this engagement - also First
Leut. Clark of our Company. There we defeated the enemy. From there were ordeered
to march over land to Port Hudson which place we surrounded and charged on the
enemy works at different times but in each case was defeated. On the fourth day
of July 1863 - the rebels surrendered to Gen. Grant at Vicksburgh - and on the
8th day of July Port Hudson surrendered to Gen. Banks about thirteen thousand
men. We remained there for some time later embarked on River steamer and were
transported to Vickburgh where we remained the balance of our term of enlistment.
Returning home by the way of Cairo and by rail from there to Kalamazoo, Mich.
where we were mustered out of service on the 23rd day of August 1864. From there
returned to my father's home at Lyons - Oakland Co., Mich. Worked on the farm
for two months for Dr. Albert Walkers of Salem, Michigan in December. I hired
out to the Government to return to Tennessee. Married Libbie Whitecomb. Lived

AFHLOB. Edward
D. Deake
Edward
was born to Oliver Levi Deake and Blanche E. Dunkum Deake on Feb. 10, 1921 in
Ypsilanti, Mich. While in High School he was a member of the Ypsilanti H.S. swim
team that won the Class B championships in 1937- 39. He graduated from Ypsilanti
HS in 1939. He graduated from the University of Michigan Law School in 1943 and
his law degree in 1946 and was admitted to the bar the same year. While in college
he was afflicted with a severe arthritic condition at the age of 21. He married
Ruth M. Durham who was a widow with children in 1965. After initially toying with
the idea of teaching law (he was a substitute teacher in business law at Cleary
College in the late 1940's), he opened a law office in Ypsilanti.
Three years after he won election to the justice of the peace office, in 1950,
he was appointed Ypsilanti's municipal judge. Elected to a full term in the Municipal
Court in 1954, Deake continued with two re-election wins. When the District Court
system was created in 1968 as the successor to the city court, Deake got the nod
again from the voters to stay on the bench, as 14th District Judge. In 1972, with
the expansion of Washtenaw Co. Circuit Court, he ran in a donnybrook and took
one of the two seats up for grabs. The position he held until his retirement in
1990 was Circuit Court Judge of the 22nd Judicial Circuit, which he held for 18
years. His name is mentioned in the book The Michigan Murders. He was the judge
that bound John Norman Collins, the alleged "Coed Killer" over for trial in the
late 1960's. This was a very famous case in Michigan that received national attention.
He has served on municipal committees and boards of area agencies such as the
Boys Club and Boy Scouts of America, Portage Trails Council. He was a member of
the First United Methodist church. He belonged to numerous organizations, including
the Ypsilanti Bar Association, Washtenaw County Bar Association, Michigan Bar
Association, Michigan District Judges Association and American Judicature Society.
He had three stepchildren (Eric Durham, Mary Lynn (Durham) Baker of Westland,
MI and Jeff Durham of Brooklyn, MI) and eight step grandchildren, all of whom
live in southeastern Mich. He died on Feb. 17, 2000 at Indian Springs, Florida
and was buried in Ypsilanti, Washtenaw, MI.
Comments by step son Eric Durham:
"He was just a really, really wonderful person. Heloved the whole family incredibly.
He was well liked , not only in the law community, but also throughout the city.
He was really a person to look up to." said Durham.
Betty Campbell, owner of Freeman Bunting, who knew Judge Deake from community
events, said, "He was always a gentleman, he was always friendly."
"The biggest thing that struck me yesterday (at the funeral) was that he stepped
into our family and was such a wonderful person, that he pulled our family together
and made it a lot stronger. If you have seen the grandchildren yesterday, that
he just adored and who adored him, you would understand that."
