The Pike County Journal. Zebulon, Pike County, Georgia, November 18, 1898

Death of Mrs. D.H. Drake

Saturday morning at 6:30 o’clock, at her home in Griffin, Mrs. Drake breathed 
her last. Several years ago, Mrs. Drake suffered a stroke of paralysis and 
since then has been entirely speechless.

Mrs. Drake was born in Zebulon on May 13, 1843. Her father was Mr. George 
Reaves. She received her education in Griffin and at an early age was married 
to Mr. C.J. Drake, who was at that time a prominent contractor and afterwards 
the first president of the City National Bank, which position he held until the 
time of his death in 1885. Mrs. Drake never remarried. She leaves four 
children, who are well-known in Pike - Mrs. R.H. Drake, a prominent insurance 
man and grocer; Mr. J.E. Drake, bookkeeper and assistant cashier at the City 
National Bank; Mr. R.A. Drake, who is connected with his brother, R.H. Drake, 
and Mrs. W.E.H. Searcy, Jr.

Mrs. Drake was a relative of Mrs. M.E. Green and Mrs. E.F. Dupree.
