END From Michelle Pangallo (1.44, child i) on May 29, 2012: BEGIN My mother used to tell me stories about her summers on the farm with her grandparents and it would seem that he was terribly fond of her, his first grandchild. To the point where she would sit on his lap and feed him grapes and his younger daughters would look on in amazement. He ran a very tight ship, not allowing any laundry to be in sight when he and the field hands returned for lunch, called dinner back then. He never used profanity but when he was furious he might utter,"Dod dash it!". According to scuttlebutt, the old homestead is most likely in the fracking area and making the present owners very wealthy. What a difference a generation makes... END From Michelle Pangallo (1.44, child i) on June 3, 2012: BEGIN Well, you asked for more so here are a few snippets I recall from Mother's stays on the Lake farm. Marie, Jack and Joe also summered at their other grandparents' farm, not nearly as prosperous as the Lakes, but warmer and fuzzier! The farm was on route to the Lake farm and their wagons and workers often passed by, yelling "Hey, Sally!" to my mother. She would wave and love the attention even though she never quite got the name! Country humor? The Lakes had their standards which were strictly observed. After dinner (supper then), the kitchen was closed and no food was allowed. The long dining table was set, plates turned over, ready for big breakfasts the next morning. Evelyn, Margaret and Marie used to sneak downstairs into the garden after hours and pick tomatoes to feast on in their beds. Mother thought Grandmother Lake knew what they were up to but chose to ignore it! If you haven't heard the story of Grandfather Lake's bookkeeping, I'll tell you that one too... END From Michelle Pangallo (1.44, child i) on June 4, 2012: BEGIN When Grandfather Lake passed away from an infected tooth, there were many slaughterhouses and meat purveyors in Philadelphia that owed him money. Sadly, no one was able to read his books and decipher his handwriting. And...none of the debtors stepped up to pay their bills!!

No mention was ever made of TB just an abscessed tooth. I believe he was in Montrose at the time. His ledgers were undecipherable and none of the Philadelphia slaughterhouses who owed him money ever stepped forward and, no, I haven't any idea what became of the books. Perhaps the sons/daughter who took over the farm would know. By the way, he was crazy about little Marie and would let her sit on his lap while he fed her grapes. Shocking to the other young children whom he never seemed to notice. Little Marie adored Harold and once protected him from Gramp's wrath. He asked her if Harold had disobeyed him by going down field. She said she looked him straight in the eyes with her big green eyes and lied, "No, Grampa." She told me he knew she was lying but the look on his face told her he admired her loyalty to her uncle. The only other significant fact to Cleve was that he desperately wanted to become a dentist and his father said he could not leave the farm; he left anyway and went into sales. Claire said she fell for him because he was the only man she ever saw in a celluloid collar! END From: Michelle Pangallo Date: Thu, 9 Jun 2016 20:12:22 -0400 Some gossip but truth: Mariah was the Lakes' Irish maid whom Marshall had to marry. Cleve was their love child.
