    Daniel W. Lake. As the owner of the property which has been in the family
name for many years, in Whitewater township, Daniel W. Lake represents the
sturdy promising element of a community with which those of the name of Lake
have been associated for nearly three quarters of a century. Mr. Lake, in the
equalizing influences of the public schools, and in earlier life, learned to
invest the occupation of farming with intelligence and keen interest. When he
assumed the management of the paternal acres, his method and understanding
materially advanced, and he ever seeks new and more practical ways to success.
Mr. Lake was born in Whitewater township, Hamilton county, Ohio, September 9,
1867, a son of Ellis R. and Susan Holland Lake, both natives of Indiana. Ellis
R. Lake obtained his education in the public schools of Indiana and after
engaging in the farming business here for a time, came to Whitewater township,
where he purchased the fine farm of ninety acres where the subject of this
review now resides. Mr. Lake retired in 1901, and on April 7, 1913, passed to
his home beyond. In politics he was a Democrat and served two or three years as
township trustee. He was a member of the Presbyterian church, and was one of its
most active members. Mr. and Mrs. Lake were the parents of three children and
they are as follows: Carrie, who is the widow of William Hopping, of Whitewater
township, Edith, deceased, who was the wife of Albert Kendrick, of Whitewater,
and Daniel W., with whom Mrs. Lake, Sr., resides on the homestead farm. Daniel
W. Lake obtained his early education in the local public schools, and after
completing his course of study, returned to the old home place where he took
charge of operations as manager, in which capacity he still continues, and under
his directions, its possibilities have been fully developed and it has become
one of the valuable tracts in the township. He is a Democrat in politics, but
has given more time to his business interests than he has to the affairs of the
public arena. Fraternally, he is a valued member of the Grange, and his family
are members of the Christian church. Mr. Lake was married January 3, 1901, to
Miss Alice D. Lake, a daughter of Wallace and Mary Ann (Lampher) Lake, both of
whom were well-known agriculturists of Dearborn county, Indiana. To this union
have been born two children : Floyd, deceased, and Dorothy, who is at home. Mr
Lake is not alone a successful business man and agriculturist, but also a
citizen who has won and holds his fellow-townsmen's love, respect and confidence.
