Note on Wife: Epsie DRAKE - shared note

In the May 1888 issue of the Kickapoo newspaper, "The Censor", Reuben Drake is said to have a "grown daughter", Mrs. McClaren, living in Dakota.

Other named children were: Jesse, Benjamin, a daughter in Iowa, and Mrs. Dupee,( Clarenda) the mother of the slain grandchildren.

 

According to papers sent to me by Vera Knowlton, Epsie and Wayne lived in North Dakota. They had 3 children, Gay, Dess, and Vern.

 

Later, Epsie, and daughters Gay and Bess lived in New York City. Epsie wrote articles for newspaper, Mothers Magazine, and wrote plays.
