Unknown.Notes for C HARLES DRAKE:"He is a shadowy figure, first revealed to me by my father, who thought he existed, and thought that he went to the Boston area or to Ontario. This was back in 1955, when my interest in family was well satisfied by "what my father told me". And well might be, too, for since I have become a little more genealogy conscious, I have not found an error in what Dad gave me. About twenty-five years ago, while going through some land records I found reference to a Charles Drake being in P.E.I. in the 1840's - no more than that. When I had the Mormon Index searched I hoped to find a Charles whose dates and parents might be plausible, but came up empty. Doesn't mean he did not exist." *Family member's letter dated May 2000*

Lois died in Saskatoon Saskatchewan in 1967 at the age of 90. After Gordon was born, Elmira was involved in an elevator accident at the hospital that crashed to the ground and left her a semi-invalid from that time on. George moved from Mt. Mellick to Strasbourg, Saskatchewan in the spring of 1906 until 1918. Together with son Harry and his wife Margaret, they operated a John Deere Implement business. They then moved to Beatty, Saskatchewan where they farmed and then to North Battleford, Saskatchewan where they had another John Deere Outlet with George and Harry in business together. Then in 1925 George bought 8 acres just south of Saskatoon and he built a fox ranch. All the buildings were very well built and kept very tidy. He also invented many things he used on the fox ranch, which other fox ranchers used. At the age of 76 George sold "the Ranch" to his grandson Willard and retired, moving to a home in Saskatoon. George loved cars and had one of the first with lamps you had to light. The story is told that when he went downtown in the "Buick" he would drive on the street-car tracks.

Mr Drake was a member of the United Church and for some time was superintendent of the Sunday School at Kedleston. He was secretary and member of the local school board for about twenty-five years and served as the secretary ! for the local telephone company for about the same length of time. He has been in indifferent health for the past three years, although untill the past two weeks he was up and about. Another page in the history of Kedleston is written with the passing of a pioneer, who made his contribution to its development, to its gradual change from the unsettled prarie into an organized community. The West is not the country for weaklings or those who are afraid of hard work, who lack courage and perseverance. Men who made the West are those who stick to it, through thick and thin, through bad times and good times, through discouragements and drouths.

ENOCH DRAKE On July 25th, Cornwall, P.E.I., experienced a deep sense of loss in the death of Mrs. Enoch Drake, at the age of seventy-five years. Deceased had been in failing health for some months due to complications following pneumonia. Mrs. Drake (nee Mary Howard) was united in marriage to Mr. Enoch Drake on February 15th, 1866. The children of the marriage were; John, living in Keddleston, Sask,; James Howard, living at home with his widowed mother, the father having died on Nov. 12, 1904, and Susannah Jane, also residing in Keddleston, Sask. The deceased joined the Methodist church at an early age. Her life, noted for simplicity of faith and transparency of character, was a benediction to many people; whilst her home, characterized for its Christian hospitality, was a shelter to friend and stranger alike. Her many mourners and loved ones, whilst realizing that her translation has narrowed for them, life's circle, yet has widened a friendship in the skies; for on such saints as Mrs. Drake God's mantle of glory eternally falls.

Surviving are one daughter, Gladys Marie, one brother, James of Cornwall, P.E.I. and one sister, Mrs. J.R. Drake of Kedleston. Mr. Drake has served as elder in the Kedleston church for many years. We knew him best for his capacity for work, for his unwillingness to do anyone harm and for little acts of kindness such as pride in keeping the new church neat and warm and helping a neighbor in need. We mourn the loss of an old-timer in our district and extend our sympathy to the bereaved. More About J OHN DRAKE:Burial: Keddleston Cemetery, Saskatchewan Residence 1: Kingston, P.E.I.

He has been in indifferent health for the past three years, although untill the past two weeks he was up and about. Another page in the history of Kedleston is written with the passing of a pioneer, who made his contribution to its development, to its gradual change from the unsettled prarie into an organized community. The West is not the country for weaklings or those who are afraid of hard work, who lack courage and perseverance. Men who made the West are those who stick to it, through thick and thin, through bad times and good times, through discouragements and drouths.
