FREDERICK G. HAKE was born in Conewago Township, York County, May 29, 1837.  His 
parents were Andrew F. and Eliza (Gross) Hake, of York County, and of German 
descent.  They reared a family of four sons (of whom Frederick was the eldest), 
and three daughters.  Frederick G. remained on the farm until grown, received his 
education in the public schools.  At the age of twenty-one he began life for 
himself.  When twenty-three years old he was married to Sarah Moore, daughter of 
Jacob Moore, of Manchester Borough.  Ten children were born to them:  Edward M., 
a railroad official at St. Louis; Mary Ellen, wife of Joseph Eisenhart; William 
Albert, grocer; Jennie, wife of Luther Glatfelter; Elizabeth, Annie, Augustus, 
Maggie, Carrie and Hattie – the last six being at home.  Brought up in the 
Lutheran Church, they, for convenience, joined the United Brethren Church in 
1874.  Having a fine farm of 163 acres of well cultivated land, about four miles 
west of York, Mr. Hake left Manchester Borough in 1874, and located on this farm.  
His parents left Manchester, in 1872, for Harrisburg, where they have since 
resided, leading the easy life of retired farmers.  Mr. Hake owns very valuable 
property in Harrisburg, as also valuable farm lands in Kansas.
