Lake Odessa Wave, 10 Mar 1932

Charles Lake Died Thursday, Feb. 25

One of Lake Odessa’s Early Settlers.  Funeral at Congregational Church.  Leaves 
Son and Daughter.

Charles Lake, 79 years old, died at the Ionia County farm near Ionia Thursday 
afternoon and the funeral was held at the Congregational church the following 
Sunday afternoon.  Burial was in Lakeside cemetery.

Mr. Lake came to Lake Odessa from Galesburg, Mich., almost at the time this 
village was started in about 1890 and operated a livery barn here continuously 
until about 1918, when the business became unprofitable.  He also had a piece 
of land west of town which he worked in later years.

Mrs. Lake died about two years ago.  There remains one daughter Mrs. Nina 
Statton of Tulsa, Okla., and one son Guy Lake of Climax, Mich.

Thus one by one the original settlers of this little city are passing on and 
their lives remains only a memory.
