"From a history of Franklin Co., Nebr. -In the summer of 1872 some thirty families settled in Macon. They drove across from Lowell. The lake bed one mile by one and half was full of water. They thought they were settling on a lake seven miles north of Franklin. Macon had hopes of being the leading city of the county if the railroad went throuugh there. Among the settlers were W.E. Austin, F.J. Austin, Burton, Clapp, Hayes, Grout, Melindy, Blanden, Blauvelt, Foster, Yelkin, Lynch, Davis, Colver, Gorham, Chitwood, Chamberlain, Bisbee, Dake, Horton and others. They arrived by covered wagon caravan in 1872. He chose this site because it contained a lake. The lake, however, was the product of a wet season and did not prove to be permanent." For many years Frank Austin and Calvin Dake were partners in the Austin-Dake Dry Goods and Groceries. He died of pneumonia on Jan.24, 1901 in Franklin Co., Nebr. His wife Jane died a couple of weeks later on Feb.5, 1901 also of pneumonia. From the Franklin newspaper on Jan. 24, 1901: "Calvin Dake, member of the firm of Alustin & Dake, died this evening at 6 o'clock of pneumonia. He was only sick a few days and it was not until yfesterday that is was considered his case was serious. He was at the store all day Saturday. He was one of the early settlers of this county coming here and taking up a homestead north of here in the early 70s. He had been in the general store business for the past fifteen years at this place and was a successful businessman. Never in the history of this place has there been as many sick as at the present time. Fully three-fourths of the population are suffering with the grip. There has been several deaths and other are low." The next month: " Franklin had hardly recovered from the shock of the news of Mr. Dake's death when it was again grieved by hearing of the death of his wife Mrs. C.C. Dake. She was taken sick at about the same time as her husband some three weeks ago and survived him by not quite two weeks, her death occurring on Tuesday at 11 p.m. Jane Crabtree was born in New York in 1837; married Mr. Dake in 1855. They came to Franklin county in 1872 and to the city of Franklin in 1887. The funeral took place on Thursday at 2 p.m., which was Grandpa Dake's birthday anniversary. Rev. G.W. Mitchell conducted services at the house and intimate friends accompanied the remains to the cemetery."

Halloween harvest a blessing to Dakes
39 people volunteer time and equipment

Halloween dawned overcast and chilly at Dakes family farm located in the Republican River valley northwest of Orleans, but by the time ghosts and gobblins were making their rounds that night, friendships had warmed the family's heart and put about 400 acres of corn in the bin.

"I was awfully glad to see these guys show up," said Lois's son Jim Dake, whose brother and farming partner, Jerry, 47, has been hospitalized at Kearney with an assortment of problems since Oct. 5.

Jim Dake said that he and his wife, Laura, had managed to harvest the farm's dryland crops and had picked around 100 acres of irrigated corn but were about overwhelmed by the task that remained ahead when 39 people showed up to finish the job last Thursday.

That surge of manpower brought with it seven combines, 17 trucks, some grain augers and a tractor and grain cart for each harvester. The corn was both placed in the farm's storage bins and taken to a grain elevator, Dake said. "They really changed the look of the valley around here in a hurry."

Dake said that news of the harvesting bee was a relief to his brother, who is single, and might do as much as anything to boost his recovery. "He's showing a little bit of improvement each day and is breathing with the help of oxygen," he said. "I think theyre getting pretty close to starting rehabilitation"

The Dakes' mother, Lois, and sister, Ellen Dake of Estes Park, Cob., have been staying at Kearney to be near Jerry, another brother, Gene Dake, 39, of Ft. Collins, Colo., said last week. He is disabled because of disk problems in his back and wasn't able to offer the harvesters much help although he wanted to do what he could. Gene Dake said that Jerry had not been feeling well since the middle of the summer and spent eight days in the intensive care unit when he arrived at the Kearney hospital.

"You always here about people doing this," Gene said of the volunteer harvest crew. "But until you've seen it getting done, you cant believe the dedication and commitment these people have for each other."

In the spring of 1872 he moved to Nebr. and homesteaded 160 acres of land on which Macon was subsequently located. In the fall, he was appointed postmaster and began conducting a mercantile business in conjuction with his postal duties. He continued to serve as postmaster until he was elected county treasurer in 1800. He was re-elected treasurer on the Republican ticket in 1881 for a term of two years.) In 1880 she moved with her husband to Bloomington, Nebr. and two years later moved to Franklin, Nebr. She was a member of the Macon church and also the Congregational church at Franklin.

ABDCAD. Alvin Chamberlin Dake
Alvin was born on Aug. 1, 1849 in Ellenburg, Clinton Co., N.Y. to parents Joseph Dake III and Caroline Tyler. He was educated in New York and worked on the family farm until he was eighteen before becoming associated with his father in the lumber business and for a time contracted for logs for making lumber. In July 1868, he left home and engaged in the coal business as agent for a concern, and after one year removed to Clinton County, where he profitably engaged in the coal and wood business until 1873. He then went to Lake Superior and spent the summer in the coal business for an iron company, returning in the fall to Clinton County, N.Y., where he took a wood contract from the state. In the spring of 1875 he removed to Northampton, Mass. and engaged in the fish and oyster business, continuing until the fall of 1876, when he sold out and returned to Clinton, N.Y. In 1877 he removed to Summit County, Colorado, in the Breckenridge district and engaged in gulch mining, and in the fall of 1877 he returned to Denver. Next February he went to Leadville, where he continued mining during the summer. In 1878 he commenced the manufacture of charcoal at Leadville, and in 1883 he removed to Dake, Colorado. He furnished charcoal to the smelters, with kilns at Buena Vista and at the town of Dake, which was named for him. He had at times 400 to 500 men employed, and was the largest charcoal dealer in the state, manufacturing in one year 1,300,000 bushels of charcoal. He shipped coal to Denver from all these points. In 1887 he removed with his family to Denver. In the spring of 1892 he started the manufacturing of charcoal at Maxville, N.M. where he operated on an extensive scale, manufacturing 800,000 bushels per annum. In 1886, in connection with others, he started a cattle company, of which he was the heaviest stockholder, and raised stock on a large scale. He sold out his interest in that company in 1894. At one time he had interest in the Montezuma cattle ranch in New Mexico in association with Rodney Curtis, F.A. Keener, W. G. Evans and others, and after serving this relation he continued in the cattle industry alone to the time of his death. He was one of the owners of the Williams & Wood grocery house of Denver, which he organized in 1888. In 1877 he began to invest in Denver realty, which proved very lucrative. He was married Oct. 30, 1879 in Northampton, Mass to Charlotte E. Taylor, daughter of William and Alamends (Field) Taylor of Monteque, Mass. Mrs. Charlotte E. (Taylor) Dake became a charter member of the Woman's Club of Denver and served on the board of the Denver Orphans' Home Association for twenty years. He joined the Masonic fraternity at Ellenburg, New York in 1875. Following his arrival in Colorado he joined the Denver Athletic Club and he attended the services of the First Baptist church. He was a member of the board of park commissioners of Denver. His death, which occured in Denver on the 2nd day of Sept., 1902, when he was fifty-three years of age, was the occasion of deep and widespread regret, for he had endeared himself to all with whom he had been associated in business, social and other relations. In the East Las Vegas, N.M. paper: "Human igenuity is pitted against the hand of death in a race which Mrs. A.C. Dake and daughter are making to reach the bedside of the husband an father, stricken with a mortal illness in Denver. Mrs. Dake who is the wife of a wealthy real estate and mining man was in California when she heard that her husband was stricken. She and her daughter at once stated home. At Winslow, Ariz. she received word her husband had but a few hours to live and she immediatelyy ordered a special train from the Santa Fe road paying $1000 for it. The special arrived here five hours ahead of the regular train it had left behind. Engines were quickly changed and with but a moments delay it started again. It is hoped that twelve hours will be saved on the run to Denver."

ABDCB. Benjamin Franklin Dake

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN DAKE
Benjamin was born in 1808 in the Town of Mansfield, Vt. to Joseph Dake, Jr. and Mahitable Henderson. Ben grew to manhood on his father's farm at the foot of the Green Mountains. He was married in 1833 to Sarah Pratt. (She was born on Mar. 7, 1814 in New Hampshire the daughter of John and Louisa Pratt. She moved with her parents to Stowe, VT about 1821. She died on June 11, 1855 in Udina, Cooke Co., IL and is buried in the Udina Cemetery). In March 28, 1838 he sold land to David Pratt for $75. On Aug. 3, 1839 he sold his land in Mansfield, VT. to this father for $50.; he had already moved to Waterbury, Washington Co., Vt. Ben Dake was a frontiersman and had acquired a reputation as one of the best axmen in the state of Vermont. It was told many times by Calvin Pratt, that he always knew when he was on Ben Dake's land by feeling the stumps. The following was written by Daniel Benjamin Franklin Dake, grandson of Benjamin Franklin Dake " Uncle Pratt lived on the other side of the ridge from the Dakes. Sometimes he and Anna, his wife would walk over to the Dakes after sundown using a pine knot torch to light the way. If, as sometimes, happened, the wind blew out their torch, they were left to find their way in the dark. Uncle Pratt said he could always tell if he was still on Dake land because Ben Dake cut the smoothest stump of any man in Vermont. About 1845 Calvin Pratt and his family moved west into the Illinois country, settling near the village of Elgin, which is now a teeming city. "Ben lived several years in the Town of Waterbury, Vt. prior to moving to Illinois in 1854. "Nine years later in 1854, the same year their daughter was born, Ben Dake and his family also moved to the Illinois country. Arriving in Illinois, the family moved in with the Pratts where they spent the winter of 1854-55. In the spring of `55 Dake rented a farm and the family moved into their own home. During the 1850`s the Fever, as it was known, which was Typhoid fever, was raging across the Midwest like a prairie fire. Thousands died from the scourge. In early June 1855 Sarah Dake was taken sick with the Fever. People were deathly afraid of the disease and not one neighbor dared go in and help Mrs. Dake, and her with a baby little more than a year old. Finally a neighborgirl that Isaac had been courting, Sarah Geer, volunteered to go in and take care of Mrs. Dake. Mrs. Dake died on June 11, 1855 and was buried in the churchyard at Udina, IL.a short distance west of Elgin. On month later to the day Sarah Jane Geer died July 11, 1855. She lies buried in the Huntley cemetery, Huntley, IL.

Ben Dake never remarried after his wife's death. He lived with his sons and daughter until one by one they married and moved out. In 1858 Isaac was married to Kezia Geer, a sister of the dead Sarah. There was at the time, some speculation as to why Isaac married Sarah's sister. After their marriage Isaac brought his little sister Sarah Louisa to live with them and they raised her. As a side note though, when Sarah married she went back to her dad`s home, fixed it up and was married there. Ben Dake continued to live alone for many years. As he grew older, Isaac moved him over to live in a small house on Isaac's farm. One morning Isaac found him lying on the floor unable to lift himself up. He was then moved in with the family where he lived his last few years. He died Nov. 12, 1882 and was buried in the churchyard at Huntley, Illinois beside his son Frank.
