Harrison Dake's Memoirs
Harrison Dake was a grandson of Benjamin Dake and lived in Shelby Co., Indiana.
He had written a 55 page document about his childhood and left it in his estate
where it was discovered many years later. The Bucker Letter
describes how the
document was found and came into the possession of J.E. Dake. I obtained
Harrison's Memoirs from the Genealogical estate of J.E. Dake,
transcribed it
and made it available here. Spelling and grammar are duplicated in the transcription
as well as I could.
