     first wife of William Henry Lake

The Kingston Daily Freeman, Kingston, NY, July 12, 1917
The funeral of Myrtle Rugar Lake was held from the home of her mother,
Mrs. Caroline Rugar, No. 66 Spruce Street, at 9 o'clock this morning
and from St. Mary's Church at 9:30, where a high mass of requiem was
sung by the Rev. Stephen Connelly, while within the chancel was seated
the Very Rev.  Dean Hickey, pastor of St. Mary's Church.  In his eulogy
Father Connelly paid a most beautiful tribute to the deceased, likening
her death to the passing of the flowers in spring, she being but 25
years old.  Mrs. Lake had a wonderful disposition and had endeared
herself to all who knew her and her loss will be deeply felt by her
many relatives and friends.  The floral tributes were many and very
beautiful.  Besides her mother, Mrs. Caroline Rugar, she is survived by
her husband William Lake, and two small children, Joseph aged 3 years,
and Dolores, aged 22 months, two brothers, Charles at home and William
of Hopewell, VA, two sisters, Jessie at home and Mrs. B. O. Clark of
Hopewell, VA.  The Rev. Father Connelly accompanied the remains to St.
Mary's Cemetery, where they where laid to rest in a gray silk plush couch
casket with antique silver trimmings.  The bearers were Henry Kierman,
Michael Mauer, Frank Jenks, Frank Steltz, Arthur Fox and Fred Sharp.
The funeral arrangements were in charge of Grogan & Scherer.
