JABEZ P. DAKE FAMILY
AHADA. LYDIA DAKE
Daughter of Jabez P. Dake and Sophia Bowen. She married Lyman Hoppins. The date
and place of death is unknown. She had a son Chauncey I. Hoppins.
AHADB. DAVID MERITT DAKE
David was born on April 14, 1814 at Greenfield, Saratoga County, N.Y. to parents
Jabez P. Dake and Sophia Bowen. He entered the office of Dr. J.W. Miller, he studied
medicine under his guidance, and attended two courses of lectures at the Fairfield
Medical College, N.Y. and one at Castleton, Vt.. He graduated in the Spring of
1837 from the Geneva Medical College. Settling in Nunda, Livingston County, N.Y.,
he practised Allopathy over nine years, with increasing dissatisfaction with that
system and its results. He also taught and lectured at Nunda Literary Institute.
He could not persuade himself that his patients at any time owed their recovery
to his presciptions, and he found it mortifying to know that the simplest remedies
prescribed by those too poor to employ a physician were often more potent for
a recovery that his most elaborate prescriptions. While in this state of mind,
his attention was drawn to Homeopathy, and he commenced the study of Hahnemann's
"Organon", which he examined with deepest interest. Following this with Jahr's
"Manual", and supplying himself with the more useful remedies, he commenced practice.
During the twenty-five years which passed after his adoption of the Homeopathic
practice, he experienced a satisfaction which he had never known before. Leaving
Nunda, in 1846, the year after his conversion to the new system, he removed to
Pittsburg, where he was introduced to Dr. G. Reichhelm, who extended to him a
cordial welcome, and with whom he labored with delight until the day of his death.
In an address before the American Institute of Homeopathy, during its session
in Washington City, in 1856, his treatment of Homeopathy, as the embodiment of
a Complete Medical Doctrine, attracted marked attention, especially in connection
with the report of a committee on mechanical aids to medication in the treatment
of various diseases. It was clear exhibit of the progress of Homoeopathy, of the
position it now occupies in medical science, and of its claims upon the scientific
mind of the age. In his intercourse with his patrons, Dr. Dake sought to enlighten
their minds in regards to the true principles of medical practice, as opposed
to the fossilized empiricism of the older method of practice. As the practical
demonstration of the efficacy of Homeopathy could be made to comparatively few
at the bedside, and as a more efficient channel through which to reach the masses,
he wrote and secured the publication of about ninety columns in the Daily Dispatch
of Pittsburg, setting forth the claims of Homeopathy upon the confidence of mankind
as a system of cure, contrasted with the Allopathic system in the light of notable
and unequivocal results of practice, and extending reiterated invitations to the
enemies of Homeopathy to disprove the facts or expose the fallacy of the reasoning.
The invitation not being responded to, the people quietly accepted the silence
of the Allopaths as proof that no reply could be made, and Homeopathy has been
ever since gaining ground steadily and surely. In 1860 he submitted a report on
"Medical Education", which was published in the proceedings of the American Institute
of Homeopathy.
A case of prosecution in the criminal courts of a Homeopathic physician for alleged
malpractice excited great attention and deep feeling. Dr. Dake felt that Homeopathy
itself was on trial, and taking the witness' stand, was subjected to a long, close
and searching examination and cross-examination by Edwin M. Stanton, the late
War Secretary, and by numerous experts. The disagreement of the jury disposed
of the case, and the prosecution was never renewed. Failing health compelled him
to retire from his practice in 1863 and move to Reading, Pa. He married Mary Manule.
He died on March 28, 1891 at De Funiak Springs, Fla. He was 77 years of age at
the time of his death.

Mary was born to parents David Merrit and Mary (Manule) Dake. She died on April
11, 1843 at Nunda, N.Y.
AHADBB. Charles Romeyn
Dake
Charles was born in 1850 at Pittsburgh,
Pa., to parents David Merit Dake and Mary Manule. He graduated from the College
of Physicians and Surgeons of New York City (Medical Department of Columbia
College) in 1873. His early inspiration was drawn from no less a source than
Dr. F.W. Skiles, late of Brooklyn, N.Y., one of his preceptors, and who, whilst
noted for his medical erudition and acumen was, perhaps best known from the
fact that between the years 1870 and 1880 he conducted the largest private practice
in America, collecting it is said, more than half a million dollars in the brief
time.
In medical matters Dr. Dake was extremely liberal. No man added to the fame
of Hahnemann by grander, nobler words than those that have come from his pen.
Medical Societies had no attraction to him, in fact he was apposed to all organization
that was intended to exert any control over the individual. An though no Medical
Practitioner in the Mississippi Valley was better known or of greater repute
among the people than Dr. Dake, there probably existed no Homoeopathic Physician
of importance who was less known, personally,to medical men than he was.
He was frequently called in consultation as far as Indiana, Missouri and Northern
Illinois. Early in life he declined medical honors in the East, and late in
the West, such as those for which many men strive through a life-time in vain.
Turning his back upon openings in New York and in Pittsburgh, he sought and
found a quiet and successful life in the West. Twice he declined a college Professorship,
one of which was tendered him before he was twenty-five. His short story in
the Christmas supplement of the Homoeopathic News, "The Limits of Imagination"
was greatly admired and particularly so by those most competent to judge of
its literary value. He also wrote a short story "The Death and Resurrection
of Gerald Deane"
AHADC. CHAUNCEY MARTIN DAKE
Chauncey was born on December 1, 1816 in Greenfield, Saratoga County, N.Y. as
the second son to parents Jabez P. Dake and Sophia Bowen. His academical studies
were pursued at Genesee, and he attended medical lectures at Geneva, but owing
to ill health began practice under a state license in 1836. His first wife was
Miss Harriet Cady, by whom he had a son (She died in 1848); his second wife,
Miss Eliza Kirby, whom he married in 1848, was the only daughter of Professor
S.R. Kirby, of New York. In 1840 he lived in Mt. Morris, Livingston Co., N.Y.
Dr. Dake was converted to Homeopathy in 1841, by his brother-in-law, Dr. H.H.
Cator. While at Rushville, N.Y. he suffered from an attack of inflammatory rheumatism,
and becoming steadily worse, called in Dr. Cator, who prescribed remedies that
gave him relief, and finally cured him. As soon as he had sufficiently recovered
to leave his bed, he procured the few books on homoeopathy then written in the
English Language, and studied them so diligently that he soon became convinced
of the truths contained in them, and entirely changed his mode of practice.
In 1843, he removed to Genesee, N.Y. and was the first to introduce the new
doctrine into that beautiful valley, where he triumphantly battled with ignorance,
prejudice and bitter professional opposition. In 1857, he received a special
degree from the Homeopathic Medical Society in Philadelphia. He moved to Pittsburg
in 1863 and succeeded his brother, Dr. J.P. Dake, of Pittsburgh, Pa., there
continuing a large and flourishing practice until failing health compelled him,
in 1866, to retire to his farm, near Rochester, N.Y.(St. Albans, N.Y.), where
he resided until his death. He died of paralysis at Springwater, N.Y. on July
15, 1872, while visiting his sister-in-law, Mrs. Wiley.
Dr. Dake was an ardent lover of the Homeopathic principles and a successful
and popular practitioner. He was the first President of the Livingston County
Homeopathic Medical Society, and delivered an able address at its first meeting.
While initially ridiculed by the Doctors in his family, he was the means of
converting his father from the doctrines of the old school; also his brothers,
Dr. D.M. Dake, Dr. J.P. Dake, and Dr. William H. Dake.

Dumont Charles Dake
Dumont was born June 11, 1838 at Nunda, Livingston Co., N.Y. to parents Dr.
Chauncey M. Dake and Harriet Cady. His grandfather Dr. Jabez Dake was the first
to substitute the bath for the old system of blood-letting and his uncle, Dr.
J.P. Dake has a national reputation as a practioner of the new school of Homeopathy.
His father, Dr. C.M. Dake, was also an eminent physician. Dumont received a
thorough academic education, studied medicine with his father and uncle,and
was associated for some years with the former in practice. He abandoned his
profession for a brief season during the War, and served in the Union Army for
three years, being afterward appointed to the Revenue Service under Secretary
Chase. In 1868 he commenced practice in Rochester, N.Y. as an Homeopathist,
but gradually enlarged his sphere of action, adopting more advanced, liberal,
and in many respects, original ideas, his specialty being Magnetic Therapeutics.
He traveled extensively for several years, achieving and enviable reputation
throughout the West by his peculiar method of diagnosing disease, and his marked
success in the cure of "incurables." A prominent medical journal said of him:
"his methods are novel, his analysis clean-cut and convincing, and he is mentioned
as a modern evolution of the distinguished Dr. Abernethy; courageous, determined,
and an uncompromising foe to all shams and to charlatanism." He removed to New
York in 1879, and was graduated from the United States Medical College in 1882.
He rapidly acquired an extensive practice, his peculiar methods receiving due
recognition among his professioanl brethren of the various schools of medicine,
by whom he was frequently called in for consulations. Although regularly established
in New York City, his practice included patients from Maine to California. He
was married in 1885 to Florence Nightingale Middleton, a daughter of W.H. Middleton,
of Brooklyn.

He first practiced medicine at Nunda, N.Y. and then Detroit, Mich., Pittsburgh,
Penn. and Irodequoit, N.Y. and finally at Hornell, N.Y. He married Laura Cassandra
Barrett on Feb. 19, 1845. (She was born on Feb. 14, 1827 in New Hampshire and
died on Mar. 7, 1903 at Nunda, N.Y.). In 1870, he was living in Rochester, NY

Nunda, NY
|
successful Allopathic Physician
in Nunda, N.Y. He was educated in the Literary Institute at Nunda and at Madison
University at Hamilton, N.Y. Up to the time of his graduation at the age of
twenty-two, he had been constantly in school, except for one year 1845-46 which
he spent in Tennessee, as principal at the Bethany Institute, about twenty miles
east of Memphis. While in Tennessee his father died, occasioning his speedy
return for the settlement of the estate and care of his mother. Previously at
the age of sixteen his mind led toward the law and he began to read Blackstone
in the office of an eminent lawyer, but coming often upon lengthy Latin quotations
that he could not read he concluded after a few months to return to school.
Before he had reached the end of his college course his mind had received strong
religious bias, and he felt that he ought to preach. But dyspepsia and throat
affection and a tendency to his fathers profession finally deceided him to study
medicine. His first writting was on the merits of the new system of therapeutics,
entitled "Generalization in Medicine", read before the senior class at Union
College in 1848 and afterwards published in a Schenectady paper by Dr. Swits.
While still a student in 1849 he fought Asiatic Cholera in Pitttsburgh. He graduated
from Union College, Schenectady, N.Y., with a Bachelor of Arts, in July 1849,
studied medicine with Dr. Gustavus Reichhelm, at Pittsburg, Pa.; attended lectures
at Geneva Medical College and later at the Homoeopathic College at Philadelphia.
He graduated at the Homoeopathic

Hahnemann Medical
College of Philadelphia
|
Medical College in 1851 (now
the Hahnemann College) he associated himself with Dr. Reichhelm (from the University
of Halle, Prussia) after his graduation, until 1853 when Dr. Reichelm moved
from Philadelphia leaving him with the practice. In 1855 he delivered an oration
on the "Philosophy of Homoeopathy" at the centennial celebration of Hahnemann's
birthday in Philadelphia. He was elected to the chair of Materia Medica in the
College of Philadelphia which he held for two years. In 1857 he was elected
President of The American Institute of Homoeopathy at its session in Chicago
and in 1858 delivered the annual address before that learned body during its
session in Brooklyn, N.Y. In 1860 he prepared and published a small work for
domestic use on "Acute Diseases" and in 1871 in Nashville, republished the same.
He became one of the editors in 1852 of the Philadelphia Journal of Homoeopathy;
in 1860 of the U.S. Journal of Homoeopathy, and in 1863 of the North American
Journal of Homoeopathy.
In 1863 his health so completely gave way under his extensive practice and many
duties that he entirely relinquished practice and returned to his farm at Salem,
Ohio. While residing in Ohio he, along with several other gentlemen, established
the Hahnemann Life Insurance Company of Cleveland, Ohio. He became interested
in the cultivation of the grape on the southshore of Lake Erie. In 1869 he had
regained his health but his wife having shown symptoms of pulmonary disease
he sought a milder climate and went to Nashville, Tenn. In 1875 he took leave
from his practice once again due to health reasons and traveled extensively
throughout Europe. At the First World's Homoeopathic Congress in Philadelphia
in 1876 he read a paper on "Meteria Medica as a Science". In 1878 he was appointed
and served on the "Yellow Fever Commission". In 1881 he again traveled to Europe
traveling through Holland, Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Russia. In 1885 he was
the american editor of the Cyclopoedia of Drug Pathogenesy. This same year he
made a third trip to Europe with his son Dr. J. P. Dake (III) for whose health
the journey was undertaken. Jabez (III) died Nov. 14, 1886 in Nashville. In
1893 he visited Japan accompanied by his son Dr. Charles Dake. In 1894 he revisited
Vancouver and the Pacific coast in company with Justice Howell E. Jackson of
the U.S. Supreme Court. He abandoned general practice confining himself to consultation
with his sons Drs. William C. and Walter M. Dake, who succeeded to his practice.
He later devoted much of his time to literature and art. He was the organizer
and for several years the president of the Nashville Art Association. In Nashville
he acquired a large practice which he retained till his death on Oct. 28, 1894,
aged 67 years and 6 months. While attending a concert at the Tabernacle in Nashville
Dr. Dake sustained a stroke of paralysis and died two days later.
In 1851 he was married to Miss Elizabeth Church, the daughter of a very eminent
Allopathic Physician of Pittsburgh. He was one of the best known and most influential
Homoeopathic Physicians in this country. He belonged to a family of physicians,
which included his father, two brothers and five sons (William C., Walter M.,
Charles and Frank B. Dake) He was always a member of the Baptist Church.
