The Ionia Daily Standard, Tuesday, December 7, 1897

Lyman Dake, for thirty years a well –known, energetic and thrifty farmer of 
Ionia county, died last night at ten o’clock, at the residence of his son-in-
law, S. E. Waters, 407 West Main St.  The critical period of Mr. Dake’s last 
illness dates back about a year.

Deceased was born in Ogdensburg, N.Y., June 10, 1825, which would bring his 
age at time of death, 72 years and 6 months.  He came to Michigan some 30 
years ago, and located upon a farm in Easton township, where he cleared and 
built up a fine farm property, and where he continued to live until about 
three years ago, when he moved into Ronald, and the last year has been spent 
mostly in this city, where he sought to recuperate his failing health.

He was twice married, and unto him were born 11 children, 8 of which survive 
the father, as follows: William, Lyman, Wesley and Edward, and Mrs. Sarah 
Stickney, Mrs. Rosina Waters, Mrs. Mary Lawrence, and Mrs. Lucy Fish.

The funeral will be attended from Easton church, at 2 p.m. on Wednesday.  
Friends who desire to view the remains before leaving the city, may call at 
rooms over 407 West Main, between the hours 10 and 11 a.m. on Wednesday.
