AHCBG. Alonzo Henry Dake
Alonzo was born to parents John Dake and Amelia (DuBois) Dake about 1832 in (possibly Saratoga Co.), New York. In 1848, he moved to California. Between 1859 and 1860, he was listed as a Physician in Sacramento, CA. In 1861, he was listed as a Gold Miner in Placer Co., CA. He married Carmelita Maria Hermosilla on Dec. 18, 1862 at Sacramento, Sacramento Co., CA. (She was born June 16, 1844 in Concepción, Bio-Bio, Chile and died Oct. 28, 1907 at Oakland, Alameda Co., CA). Alonzo was a heavy drinker, would get in fights and was abusive to Carmelita. The following account was documented in the Argus Newpaper on April 18, 1874, " During the past few weeks a change seems to have come over the usual quiet of the community at large and one would suppose, if such could be possible, that there is an epidemic of murder in the air. The people of Sacramento and San Francisco have been horror stricken by suicides, attempts at murder and the general carnage of humanity during the past two weeks, and we can safely say the killing season has commenced in earnest. And on this particular we regret to say the effects of the mania have reached one quiet town of Auburn. It is our painful duty to have to record a blood chilling assault which took place on Monday last in Auburn, between the hours of six and seven o'clock whereby two citizens, while under the influence of whiskey had an altercation which may result fatally to one and imprisonment to the other. The circumstances about as follows - A resident of Placer, who resides about one mile from Auburn, at the ranch house by the name of "the Shinder" or "Stone House", named A. H. Dake came into the town of Auburn to settle business with some of the merchants and during his stay in town was met in the early part of the evening by a blacksmith, who has a shop and resides in Auburn, named Moses Predom, who was under the influence of liquor. Predom was bosterous and insulting in his language toward Dake and wanted to fight but Dake did not want to make any row, and went away from Predom. Further on in the evening Dake went into Buins' Saloon with some friends, and here he again encountered Predom, who renewed his challenge to fight, and went so far as to strike Dake on the breast with his fist. Even then Dake over looked this and invited Predom to take a drink and be good friends, which was done, both separating at Buins' Saloon. Dake went across the street, just a few steps, to the store of Richard Gordin, and on coming out of Gordins' Store, after settling his business affairs -- met by his hostile follower, who threw down his coat and hat on the street and amid braggadous and -- renewed his challenge. As Predom was in the act of stepping to the middle of the street and squaring off, with his back turned to his adversary, Dake made a half turn to his left, where a barrel of pick handles stood, and seizing one of these struck Predom on the right side of the head three or four times, the stunning effect of which felled Predom to the ground, where Dake followed up the assult by hitting him several times while he lay insensible on the ground. Parties interfered and Dake was conveyed to the County Jail, and Predom was conveyed to his home by four men, bleeding profusely and in an insensible condition. Surgeon D. M. Todd was called in to attend to Predom and upon examination found that there was one scalp wound on the back of the left side of the head, two scalp wounds and a fracture of the skull on the right side of the head, above the temple, deep flesh wound over the right eye, and a fracture of the right cheek bone. Dr. Todd proceeded to tie up the arteries, sew up and dress the wounds which was very successfully accomplished after some hours of hard labour during which everything of clothing where the wounded man lay was saturated with the profusion of blood which he had lost. The specticle which the unfortunate man presented from the wounds was horrible, and seemed to chill the blook of all who gazed upon him. Both men are ordinarily good citizens, Dake being a resident of the County some six or seven years and Predom some fifteen or sixteen years. Dake was formerly a police officer in Sacramento City and the person who killed Charles Yates at Fifth and L Streets, about ten years ago, in consequence of a trouble growning out of the fact that Yates' wife alleged Dake had insulted her. Dake was convicted of man slaughter or murder in the second degree, and served out a portion of his term in San Quentin, but was pardoned five or six years ago, as Mrs. Yates, on her deathbed, confessed that her evidence on the -- on arrival at the killing were false. Both are married men, Dake having a family of five children and Predom five children. Predom when not under the influence of liquor, is said to be a good citizen, a whole souled man, charitable with his money in time of need and honest enough to pay his debts, and a good workman besides, but when intoxicated he becomes very abusive, dangerous and troublesome, wanting to quarrel with his best friend. Dake says that Predom and he have had two or three altercations before, when Predom was intocicated, but that when Predom was sober they always met in a friendly spirt. We called at the County Jail and saw Dake, who says that he is sorry that the occurance took place but that he was so dogged by the man Predom that he could no longer restrain himself from striking him. At the spot where the orrurance took place, a pool of blood was found, which has scarcely dried up yet, the sidewalk convenient being also stained, which is gazed upon with horror by the passers by daily. Since the second day of the occurance the wounded man has had repeated convulsions, sometimes having nearly as many as one every half hour. On Thursday afternoon he presented the first indication of partial consciousiness, by asking for what he wanted, but since that he still remains in an inconscious state. There is a watch of careful nurses employed to attend him who sit up night and day and he is fed with liquids . It is presumed he may recover from his injuries, provided a cessation of the convulsions sets in. Lockjaw is guarded against. Being a very strong and healthly man, his constitution may be able to stand the severe shock, and sanguine hopes for the present and entertained at his recovery."

Alonzo and Carmelita were divorced on June 9, 1879, on the grounds of abuse and lack of financial support of his family. Carmelita to make a living after the divorce was listed as a farmer for a couple of years. Alonzo was listed as a Carpenter in Placer County, CA in 1880. They were remarried on Nov. 27, 1883. Between 1884 and 1885, it appears that Alonzo went back to Gold Mining in Placer County, CA. They divorced a second time on Oct. 21, 1887, again on the grounds of abuse and lack of support. He was killed on May 14, 1888 at Auburn, Placer Co., CA and buried at the Odd Fellows Cemetery.

In the Placer Hearld Newspaper on May 18, 1888 an account of his killing was reported, "FATAL SHOOTING AFFRAY - On last Monday night, in the bar room of the Empire Hotel, A.H. Dake was shot by Martin Pelster and died within an hour. Both parties are well known in this county, having lived here since the early mining days. The shooting, as near as can be ascertained, grew out of the following circumstances; Mrs. Dake got a second divorce from Dake in October, 1887 on the ground of drunkenness and the failure to provide for the family, and has continued to live at the family home, the Stone Hours, ever since. Sometime after her divorce Pelster began to court Mr. Dake and they became engaged to be married. Dake hearing this returned from Colfax where he had been following his trade of carpenter, and according to report, threatened to shoot them, if they married. On the day of the shooting, Dake and Pelster talked the matter over and appeared to be on friendly terms. Dake asserted that Mr. Dake had promised at the time of the divorce that she would not marry again. Pelster agreed to cease paying attention to the lady, if she acknowledged the promise. After taking a few drinks they went to the Stone House to hear her account of the matter. Mrs. Dake denied having made the promise where upon Dake went away and Pelster stayed for supper. While at supper some one fired through the window, the shot taking effect in the bicep muscle of Pelster's right arm. It appears that no one except a very young boy saw the assassin, and told the family that he had seen his father looking through the window. Dake was at different places in Auburn that evening and was apparently as collected as ever, and did not act like a man who had attempted murder. He went to the Empire to pass the night and was talking with Ed. Gerlach, when suddenly the folding doors parted and a gun was discharged, the load taking effect in Dake's face and neck. As he fell he asked who shot him? Dr. Todd was summoned but could not save him. Dake lived about an hour after the shot. Pelster walked in, laid down his gun and showing his arm said "Here's where he shot me and I have got the best of him now". Dake was buried in the Odd Fellows Cemetery, Wednesday morning. Justice Dunnam admitted Pelster to bail in the sum of $2,000 to appear today at 10 o'clock for preliminary examination."

Carmelita married a second time to Martin Pelster on May 22, 1888, so Martin must have gotten off on the charge of murder. On October 3, 1905, she petitions to raise her grand daughter Silvia (daughter of Henry Alonzo Dake). She died October 28, 1907 at Oakland, Alameda, California.

When the Civil War began in 1862, Charles enlisted in the Union Army. He served 3 years in Company G of the 29th Iowa Infantry and mustered out as a Second Lieutenant. He was Ringgold County Iowa Treasurer from 1868 to 1871. They moved to Kearney, Buffalo County, NE before 1877. He was President of a bank in Kearney, which formed the Kearney and Black Hills stage line in late winter and early spring of 1877. He was joined in this venture by R. S. Downing who had moved to Kearney from Lowell in Kearney County. They applied for and were granted the contract to carry mail from Kearney to Deadwood. The route had been laid out the previous summer and road ranches had been established along the way to provide supplies to the travelers. The Kearney and Black Hills Route went northwest out of Kearney. Tracks made by wagons on this trail can still be seen in a pasture north of the Buffalo Hills subdivision on Cottonmill Road. Once the route reached the Wood River it followed the river to Armada, a mile north of present-day Miller. From Armada the route went into Custer County, continuing in a northwesterly direction to the Middle Loup River. At this junction a road ranche had been established called Dakesberg. The Kearney and Black Hills Route followed the Middle Loup River almost to its source in the sandhills, then turned in a more north, northwest direction toward the Black Hills and Deadwood. The advantages of the Kearney to Deadwood route were loudly proclaimed in local newspapers. According to the Central Nebraska Press

He was President of the Kearney Bank in May 1879 when it defaulted. (See story below),

BANK FAILURE.
Among the many events in the history of Kearney that caused great excitement was the failure of the Kearney Bank in May, 1879.
Until a short time before the bank suspended, it was regarded as one of the solid institutions of Kearney. C. W. Dake, the President of the bank, was one of the most public-spirited men of the county, and was universally loved and respected. Depositors, and the citizens in general, had unlimited confidence in his business integrity. For some weeks there had been a rumor that the affairs of the bank were in an unsafe condition; yet the confidence of the depositors was so great that but few gave these rumors credence. A very few, however, withdrew their deposits. About this time the investigation of County Treasurer Van Sickle was attracting public attention, and but few suspected the real condition of the bank, and when, one morning, the bank was declared closed, the depositors were taken completely by surprise. Some few, however, took the precaution to at once have their deposits secured. A great number of the depositors were workingmen, whose little all was deposited here, and which represented the savings of many years. When it became public that the bank was closed, the citizens of Kearney were at first dumbfounded with surprise. Then there was a general panic, the citizens nearly crazy with excitement. Besides immediate losses, all branches of business suffered as the result of this failure. A feeling of distrust, and a general lack of confidence, pervaded the entire business community, and as a result of this the business of the town was seriously retarded for some time. Many poor people who had deposited here lost their all. At first there was a general feeling of indignation manifested toward Mr. Dake, many believing that he had enriched himself from their deposits, though this was hardly true, as he too lost all his property. Though many of his actions were inexcusable, and though there had been general mismanagement of the affairs of the bank, the failure was misfortune rather than intentional dishonesty. Mr. Dake had always been foremost in every public enterprise for the purpose of benefiting the city or county. This very public spiritedness caused him to embark in venturesome enterprises and speculations, that caused not only his own ruin, but that of many of the depositors. Among the enterprises in which he was engaged were the Black Hills Stage Route, of which he was the proprietor, and the school section additions to the city of Kearney. Besides this, he was careless in his business affairs. He loaned money recklessly to parties without taking proper security, trusting to their honesty alone, and, as a natural result, lost heavily. Some of the men to whom he had loaned money failed, and were unable to pay to the bank any of their indebtedness; while many others could not or would not meet their obligations when due, thus making its suspension absolutely necessary.
The day previous to the closing of the bank Mr. Dake made an assignment of all his property, both real and personal, to E. C. Calkins and Nathan Campbell, for the benefit of his creditors. The liabilities of the bank were great and the assets small, with a great deal of the property in such a condition that the money could not be realized at once; therefore, a proposition was made to the creditors that they allow a new bank to be started from the assets of the Kearney Bank, the creditors to take one-half of the money due them in capital stock in the new bank, and the remainder in certificates of deposit, which were to be paid in twelve monthly installments. This proposition, however, was not accepted, and only a small percentage of the money due the depositors has ever yet been paid.
C. W. Dake, having put all of his property in the hands of the assignees, and finding that no arrangements could be made by which he could again go into business and pay his debts from his earnings, left the city, penniless, and the last known of him by his Kearney friends he was keeping a boarding-house in Colorado.

Charles and his wife rode the tourist train to Pine Grove, CO and fell in love with the area. After Charles used his Civil War script to purchase 160 acres in the area, he platted the town of Pine Grove, Jefferson County, CO, in 1886. President W. Harrison signed the land deed. Charles provided places for people to build cabins and homes and then provided support services. He lived in the town and ran a boarding house, he was the general manager of the Pine Grove Resorts, a summer resort. He was also the proprietor of the Cottage Hotel. He built the Pine Mercantile Building, which was first a hay and feed store and later he ran a general store. The Mercantile Building now operates as the Pine Emporium. The side yard of the Mercantile Building had the original train switch-back. He built a Post Office next door. A two room public school house was built to educate all the young people in the area and now is a private residence. Charles was a Justice of Peace from 1888 until his death in 1907. He organized and owned the Pine Grove Water and Light Co. He built a dam on Elk Creek with the idea of supplying the entire town with water. He donated land for the Pine Grove Cemetery. He sold land on which the Methodist Church was built, this building is now the Pine Gorve Community Center. Charles contributed polically to Jeffereson County and the State of Colorado for the rest of his life. He was a member of the 9th General Assembly as a Representative of Jefferson County. In sketches and portraitures of the state officers and members of the Ninth General Assembly, Charles was described as one of the most agressive spirts in the up-building of that section. Also Representative Dake did much for the State School of Mines in Golden, besides giving Colorado an excellent game law. By1910, Nancy is widowed and living in Chicago, Cook County, IL.

He died of pneumonia.

AHCCICA. Earl Daniel Dake
Earl was born on Feb. 19, 1902 at Wessington, S.D. to parents Clarence W. Dake and Marion Brady. Earl completed his senior year in Wessington High School but did not graduate because he refused to participate in the graduation operetta. He enrolled in a prep course offered at the School of Mines in 1919, intending to major in electrical engineering. During his sophomore year he was introduced to physics and changed his mind about electrical engineering. Earl was in his last year at the School of Mines when he met his future wife Grezelda Phoenix at the Band Hall, which was upstairs on St. Joe Street in Rapid City, S.D. (She was born on Dec. 25, 1900 at Tyndall, S.D.) Grezelda went to school in Spearfish, S.D. where she completed a two-year college certificate in teacher education. Instead of attending her commencement they eloped to Sundance, Wyoming on May 16, 1925. He received his B.S. in Civil Engineering in 1924 from the School of Mines and joined the Tech staff in 1924 as an instructor. In 1927, he earned his M.S. degree at Iowa State College and then returned to South Dakota School of Mines and Technology in 1928 as a member of the faculty. In 1930 he was appointed head of the Civil Engineering Department, a position he held until 1967.

From the Rapid City Journal, Monday, May 29, 1967:
"On Friday, Professor Earl Dake will take part in the commencement exercises of the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology for the last time as vice president of the college and chairman of the Civil Engineering Department.

Dr. Harvey R. Fraiser, Tech president, announced that due to the mandatory retirement age rule, Dake will relinquish his administrative duties and devote full time to service as professor of civil engineering. The change of assignment is scheduled to take place July 1.

Earl Dake has an interest in the School of Mines and Technology and a deep personal interest in his students - he is a dedicated teacher, stated the president. He is competent in his field and this along with his ability to explain, inspire and create has served as an inspiration to the many students who have dome under his influence over the 43 years of his college teaching.

Dake, a native of Wessington is known to innumerable students and staff members of the past decades for his ability to effect the rare combination of genuine friendship and a high degree of professionalism. Professor William Coyle, who will succeed Dake as department chairman said "To me he has never been my boss, but my fellow worker". He has put endless hours into his work, Coyle continued. "Earl is the most dedicated to his profession of any person that I have seen, including doctors, lawyers, etc. As department chairman I plan to use his model for all future staff members."

A graduate of SDSM&T in 1924, Dake earned his master's degree at Iowa State College in 1927 and received an honorary degree in civil engineering form the School of Mines in 1980. He joined the Tech staff in 1924 as an instructor and was appointment head in 1928.

A registered professional engineer, Dake has held memberships in many societies and fraternities, including Sigma Tau and Theta Tau. He is a life member of the American Society of Civil Engineers and is a past president of the South Dakota Engineering Society.

Dake has taken an active interest in community and state affairs in addition to his educational responsibility. He is an active member of the Elks Lodge and the Lions Club, and has served on the city planning commission as a federal housing appraiser, construction inspector and acting valuator.

For 13 1/2 years Dake served as secretary of the South Dakota Board of Engineering and Acrhitectural Examiners. In 1953-54 he was director of the National Council of State Boards of Engineering Examiners and acted as central zone chairman. The Rapid City Junior Chamber of Commerce selected him for the Robert A. Pier Good Government award in 1954.

The highest esteem in which Dake is held by fellow staff members was evident at the April faculty meeting where a resolution commending him for his service was passed unanimously. His colleagues gave him a standing ovation. Commented Frazer, "his unique ability to be human and understanding, along with his professional ability, have made him an outstanding contributor to our faculty." New faculty and staff members are quick to appreciate the friendship and wisdom of the vice president. Dr. Carl Lutz, who joined the Tech staff as dean of engineering in March, noted that Professor Dake has that rare quality of making a person in his presence feel at ease. This asset has undoubtedly added to his stature as a teacher and leader at the School of Mines.

Students and staff members quickly realize that there is more than book learnin to a good engineering education, commented Floyd Matthews who has known Dake as a student and more recently as a member of the Tech staff. Earl believes in practical application of the knowledge studied.

San Nelson, business manager, in his dealings with Dake as vice president noticed that he never volunteers much advice but when asked, Earl is a very astute individual who gives guidance that is worth your full consideration.

During his tenure as teacher, department head, vice president, Dake has received numberous awards including a State of South Dakota Service Certification presented by former Gov. Archie Gubbard.
But perhaps the most treasured honors in Dake's estimation are the bits of recognition offered by his most critical judges, the students he teaches. In 1961 the Letterman's Club awarded him an honorary life-time membership and a pass to all Tech contests. The 1962 yearbook was dedicated in his name.

Last month Ron Jeitz, president of the student chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers, presented Dake with a plaque on behalf of the group. The inscription read "Presented to Professor Earl Dake in appreciation of dedication and service to SDSM&T for the years 1924-1967."

Much more could be said of Dake's influence at Tech and the merits but items such as his association with teh student Board of Control, the dormitory named in his honor, his service as director for both the Endowment Association and the Research and Development Association are not easily summarized.

Perhaps it is sufficient to say that for 43 years little has taken place involving the School of Mines and Technology that has not carried some form of contribution from Earl Dake. He and his wife, Grezelda have maintained a most active interest in the school and its students.

The repect that friends and associates have for the Dakes might well be described by the introduction of the couple at the Alimni Banquet in January. Dr. Fraser presented them to the group as "The Earl of Tech and Lady Grezelda." He was acting President of SDSM&T 1947-48 and 1953-54. Dake Hall on the School of Mines campus has been named after Earl. Earl died Feb. 25, 1974 at Rapid City, SD. He was inducted into the South Dakota Cowboy and Western Hertiage Hall of Fame in Pierre, S.D. on Sept. 15, 1979.

Earl Dake had an interest in the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology (SDSM&T) and a deep, personal interest in his students-he was a dedicated teacher. His ability to explain, inspire, and create has served as an inspiration to the many students who have come under him during his 43 years of college teaching.

Dake was a lifetime member of the American Society of Civil Engineers and is a past president of the South Dakota Engineering Society. He took an active interest in community and state affairs in addition to his education responsibility. He was an active member of the Elks Lodge and the Lions Club, and has served on the city planning commission as a federal housing appraiser, construction inspector and acting valuator.

For 3 1/2 years, Dake served as secretary of South Dakota Board of Engineering and Architectural Examiners. In 1953-54, he was a director of the National Council of State Boards of Engineering Examiners and acted as central zone chairman. The Rapid City Junior Chamber of Commerce selected him for the Robert A. Pier Good Government award in 1954.

During his tenure as teacher, department head, vice president, and twice-acting president, Dake received numerous awards including a State of South Dakota Service Certificate presented by former Gov. Archie Gubbrud.

In 1961, the Letterman's Club awarded him a honorary lifetime membership and pass to all Tech contests. The 1962-year book was dedicated in his name. Ron Jeitz, president of the student chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers, presented Dake with a plaque on behalf of the group for Dake's appreciation and dedication and service to SDSM&T for the years 1924-1967.

Much more could be said of Dake's influence at Tech and the merits such as his association with the student Board of Control and the dormitory named in his honor.

General's telecommuting advocacy recognized

The International Telework Association and Council, or ITAC, has awarded their annual "Star of Telework" Leadership Award to Maj. Gen. Terrence L. Dake, United States Air Force Reserve Mobilization Augmentee commander for Air Force Materiel Command. Every year ITAC recognizes individuals and organizations showing leadership, innovation and who promote advances in the field of teleworking.

Under Gen. Dake's leadership, the AFMC Reserve program has successfully piloted the use of telecommuting in support of military activities across the globe. Gen. Dake's vision and advocacy of telecommuting has been instrumental in allowing reservists to provide better customer service to the active duty force.

Telecommuting effectively expands duty time so reservists are available to work anywhere, at anytime. Over the past four years, Reserve officers assigned to AFMC have used telecommute opportunities to complete a multitude of projects while not physically located at their unit of assignment. This experience has shown telecommuting provides quality, task-oriented products, while saving time and money.

"Telecommuting capability has added great value to the reserve program in its capability to carry out a wide range of important mission needs," Gen. Dake said. "Telecommuting is expected to enhance Reservists' contribution to the AFMC Workforce 2005 objectives."

The following is a memorial to C.L. Dake written by Josiah Bridge of the U.S.G.S. (U.S. Geological Society) The article appeared first on January 1935 in A.A.P.G. Bulletin, v. 19, no. 1,pp.143-147.

Charles Laurence Dake was born in Chaseburg, Wisconsin on April 2, 1883, the eldest son of George E. and Mary A. Dake. George Dake was a carpenter and builder, and in early life young Charles started to learn his father’s trade, but soon afterward decided to enter the teaching profession. After completing his high school course, he spent 2 years at the State Normal School and then entered the University of Wisconsin, receiving his A.B. degree of Philosophy by Columbia University. He was a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Sigma Xi, the American lnstitute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers, and a Fellow of the Geological Society of America. During his last year at Wisconsin he married Miss Ella Hildegard Falkenstern, of Portage, Wisconsin.

ln the fall of 1912, Dr. Dake received a temporary appointment as instructor in geology at Williams College.  The following year he became assistant professor of geology at the Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy. He was made associate professor in 1918, and professor and head of the department in 1921, a position which he held during the remainder of his life.

Dake was primarily an educator. His most important contribution to geology is to be found in the large number of professional geologists who began their training in his classrooms. He had a tremendous enthusiasm for his subject, and a clear and forceful manner of presentation.   His students soon learned that it was not sufficient to be able to repeat what had been said in the lecture or what was contained in the text, for his examinations were almost invariably so framed as to require a student to reason from the facts rather than merely remember and repeat them.   Small wonder that one of the students once remarked with a long face, "lt's no use taking a ‘crib' to Doc's exam, for you never can make one up to fit his questions."   Professor Dake's particular pride and hobby in teaching was his course in interpretation of topographic and geologic maps, and, in all probability, no better course in the subject has ever been given.   lt was an eye-opener for all who took it, and particularly to students who had entered with advanced standing and who had rashly tried(without success) to substitute work done elsewhere for it. Out of this course grew a very useful little text, The interpretation of Topographic and Geologic Maps, written in collaboration with John S. Brown, a former student. Dake had long cherished the idea of writing a book which would be a revision and amplification of the United States Geological Survey Professional Paper 60, and which would make use of the finer and more detailed topographic maps which had appeared since that volume had been published. The cost of such a volume was prohibitive, however, and no publisher would take it. lt was not until a plan was worked out whereby lists of available topographic maps were substituted for plates that it became possible. ln their search for material for this book the authors examined practically every topographic and geologic map which had been published by the United States Geological Survey, as well as hundreds of maps from other sources.

Professor Dake took a keen interest in the educational standards of the department and of the school and was always on the alert to improve them. As head of the department, he was a member of the policy committee of the school, and he also served on the committees on graduate students and curricula. He was greatly interested in the whole problem of engineering education and, at the time of his death, was chairman of the American institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers' committee on engineering education. Dake's own struggle for an education, against poverty and prejudice, has never been fully told, but it left its mark, and make him bitterly intolerant of the student who came to college "because he had to," or the one who "came to have a good time." He expected his students to show the same enthusiasm and industry that he himself possessed, and this was especially true if the man had signified any intention of becoming a geologist. "l could give you a passing grade on this paper if you were merely taking the course because it is a required subject," he once told a student, "but, you have signified your intention of becoming a geologist, and I have a right to expect better work of you than of some of the others." He was always interested in the progress of his students, always willing and eager to discuss their problems with them, always ready to help them if possible, and managed, somehow or other, to keep in touch with many of them long after they had left school and entered professional work.  

While a student at Wisconsin, Dake worked in the lron Ranges both for the Wisconsin Geological Survey and for private companies. After coming to the Missouri School of Mines, most of his field seasons were spent in the employ of the Missouri Bureau of Geology and Mines. Out of this work came three large publications:

"The Sand and Gravel Resources of Missouri," 1918; "The Problem of the St. Peter Sandstone," 1921;

"The Geology of the Potosi-Edgehill Quadrangles,"l930;

He also produced material for a number of shorter papers, and gained a reputation as one of the outstanding students of the stratigraphy of the early Paleozoic of the Mississippi Valley. In the course of this work, he mapped the distribution of certain formations of the Ozark Uplift in sufficient detail to permit them to be shown separately on the 1922 edition of the "Missouri State Geological Map."

This was the first edition of this map, in which, such a separation had been attempted. Later studies in the Ozarks were partly responsible for the more detailed subdivision shown on the 1926 edition of this map.

Dake spent the summer of 1916 along the Rocky Mountain Front in northwestern Wyoming gathering data for a geological map of the state for the Wyoming Geological Survey. Out of this work came an important short paper, " The Heart Mountain Over thrust and Associated Structures in Park County, Wyoming." lt was a clear description of one of the great over thrust faults of the northern Rockies, a type of structure whose existence in this region had not been clearly demonstrated before.

ln 1917,1920, and again, in 1930 he obtained a year's leave of absence from the school and spent the time in professional work, and in graduate study; the first year for the consulting firm of Valerius, McNutt, and Hughes; the second at Columbia University; the third in the employ of the Sinclair Company.

During the summer of 1934 he was again in northwestern Vlffoming working on the Heart Mountain over thrust in collaboration with W.H. Bucher and R.T. Chamberlain. This work was a part of the Yellowstone-Beartooth-Big Horn project, one of the several projects carried on with the funds from the Penrose bequest to the Geological Society of America. He had been making a study of the distribution and nature of the "exotic" limestone masses along the mountain front between Greybull and Shoshone rivers, and mapping the critical thrust features in the valley of the South Fork of the Shoshone.

Dr. Dake was never a robust man, but his energy and enthusiasm for his work were tremendous. ln the field he often drove himself to the point of exhaustion. He had completed his field work and was returning home with his wife, son, and two daughters when he was stricken with a cerebral hemorrhage, doubtless, brought on by hard work in high altitudes, and died shortly after reaching the hospital in Denver.

Viola Wisconsin History

ALFRED J. DAKE, M. D., who is engaged in the practice of his profession in the village of Viola, is one of the representative physicians and surgeons of the county and is well entitled to consideration in this historical compilation. He was born at Hobart, Lake county, Ind., Aug. 18, 1869, and is a son of Charles B. and Esther (Rundell) Dake, both native of the state of New York, whence they removed to Indiana, where they remained until 1872, when they came to Wisconsin and located at Chaseburg, Vernon county, where the father became a prominent contractor and builder, there continuing to reside until 1883, when he removed to Newton, that county, where he is now living practically retired. In politics he is a stanch advocate of the principles of the Republican party and he has served as justice of the peace. He and his wife are members of the First-day Adventist church. Of their eight children six are living. Charles B. Dake was a valiant soldier of the Union in the Civil War, in which he served three years, having been a member of the Tenth Illinois cavalry, in which he rose to the rank of major. Dr. Dake was three years of age at the time of his parents' removal from Indiana to Wisconsin, and his early educational training was secured in the public schools of Vernon county. He was graduated in the high school at Newton and as a youth he learned the carpenter's trade, under the able direction of his father. He devoted about two years to teaching school and then began the work of preparing himself for his chosen profession. In 1891 he was matriculated in the Hahnemann Homeopathic Medical College, of Chicago, in which he completed the prescribed course, being graduated as a member of the class of 1894 and coming forth admirably prepared for the exacting work of his chosen vocation. After thus receiving his degree of Doctor of Medicine he located in his home town of Newton, where he practiced one year, then removing to Woodstock, Richland county, where he continued in practice four years, at the expiration of which he took up his residence in Viola, where he has since continued in the work of his profession and where he has gained most gratifying success and prestige. He is a member of the Wisconsin State Medical Association and the Vernon County Medical Society. He is a stockholder in the tobacco warehouse and creamery in Viola and is a public-spirited and progressive citizen, and is the owner of considerable realty in his home town. He is a Republican in his political allegiance, and is a member of the village council at the time of this writing. He is affiliated with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, Modern Woodmen of America, Mystic Workers of the World and the Beavers, being examining physician for the local organizations of each of these. Nov. 30, 1895, Dr. Dake was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Struthers, who was born in Vernon county, Wis., a daughter of William and Sarah (Farr) Struthers, honored pioneers of that county, where the father continued to reside until his death, having been a veteran of both the Mexican and the Civil Wars; his widow still lives in Vernon county. Dr. and Mrs. Dake have three children, whose names, with respective dates of birth, are as follows: W. Justin, Aug. 11, 1896; I. Merle, March 17, 1900; and Miriam A., Feb. 16, 1905.

History of Jabez Mosher Jr.

Jabez the second was born in Quaker Hill, Dutchess County, New York on March 16, 1759. Jabez's parents moved from Quaker Hill to Cambridge, Washington Co., New York when he was seven years old. In 1782, he married Abigail Deake, daughter of Charles & Anna (Gould) Deake. Abigail was born on March 17, 1765 in Hopkinton, Washington County, Rhode Island and died September 30, 1828 in East Aurora, Erie County, NY. Jabez married secondly, Maria Belay on March 4, 1834 in Syracuse, NY. There were no children by this marriage. Maria outlived Jabez, dying sometime after 1855.

During the Revolutionary War, Jabez enlisted as private, first under his father Capt. Jabez, Sr. in October, 1776. He re-enlisted 8 more times. In 1793 he was a member of the North Galway Saratoga Co., church. In 1799 he was a deacon of the Center White Creek Baptist church in Cambridge. In 1800 he was in the census for Cambridge. The two years that he said he lived in Greenfield, Saratoga Co. included 1808, when he and Abigail sold land there. From 1810 to 1826 he was in Amsterdam, Montgomery Co. His son Hezekiah sold land there in 1826, then went to Aurora, Erie Co., before 1830, probably taking Jabez with him. His son Benjamin Gool moved to Brooklyn September 13, 1839 probably with his father, who was there in 1846. The announcement of his death included a eulogy characterizing him as an unblemished man of integrity and usefulness.
