Joseph D. Lake

lbor and friend, had been called
from our midst.
Mr.. Joseph D. Lake was born
in Ohio on June Ia, 1919, and
was married to America D..
Fountain in 1870. Six children
came to bless their happy home,
one dying in early infancy.
Amy, Mrs. G C. Peacock, the
Oldest daughter died eleven
years ago; Mrs. Lake passed
away one year later. Four
children are left to mourn
Mrs. LISA Palmer of Mo. Val.
ley, Mrs. Ida Perkins and Mrs.
Mae Jones of Loveland, and
Horace Lake. who has just com.
pleted a four year course at
Iowa University, receiving his
bachelors degree on June 18th.
Mr.. Lake being a true father
to the last, wished Horace and
his wife, formerly Miss Nora
Burk of Waterloo, Iowa, to re-
main in ignorance of MS seri.
Gus condition so that they might
complete their years work
| without any additional worry.
They however, we're called
home last week. On the very
day of the sons commencement
the father was graduated from
this life.
Though he did not court
death, yet, since as some be-
lieve, death was invented by
the immortal gods as a rest
from toll, sorrow and suffering
and not as punishment for
mortals, we can we'll believe
that death was welcomed by
MIR. Lake as rest from suffer
ing.
Mr.. Lake has been a teacher,
merchant and farmer, and at
the time of his death was post
master at Loveland. In each
and every position he has won
and kept the friendship of those
with whom he associated. He
is we'll known to those active in
political circles as an energetic
and efficient worker. He has
been a member of the Masonic
lodge for thirty years.
Everywhere and at all times,
Mr.. Lake has been a kind faith
err, a faithful friend and an up.
right citizen, one whose death
has cast a gloom upon our little
town and neighborhood.
The funeral will be held from
the Methodist church in Love.
