DAKE FAMILY:




I was at a dear friends funeral this week and the person was a well known minister. The church was packed and their wasn't room for me to sit with my relatives. The pew up from my relatives had a spot and they made room for me. There were two ladies there that had to be sisters. They were like peas in a pod. I didn't get their first names put their last name was Dake. I've heard that name all my life, so I thought I would do a look-up. I was in Pulaski County, but I knew these were the same Dakes as MIller County and probably were from Miller County.
