William E. Lake died 1933 and is buried (next to his wife) at Montmorenci
Cemetery (Shelby Township, Tippecanoe County).
He married Lear J. Thomas on Apr 4, 1897. They had three children: Elbert
Leonard (b: 6/22/1898 d: 10/30/1953); Goldie I. (b: 8/16/1908 d: Mar
1976); and Forest (b: circa 1900 d: circa 1980s)
According to the marriage documentation that I have located, James Lake and
Mary Trult/Truitt are William's parents. They were married April 1872, in
Warren County, Indiana.
I am trying to determine if William had any siblings or if his parents did.
Any thing sound familiar to anyone?
Thanks for your assistance.
