Date: Mon, 1 Jun 98 14:45:38 -0400 I'm looking for any information about the family of Clarence Emerson Drake. He was born October 30, 1919 in Muskingum County, Ohio and died June 1984 in Des Moines, Iowa. His parents were Edward Drake and Minnie Myrtle Feuhart Drake. I believe he had 5 other siblings and he was one of the youngest. I know there were at least two sisters, Margaret and Evelyn. And there was a brother, Raymond. I also know his parents were dead by 1944. His sister, Margaret married someone by the last name of Boyer. I've been told many of his relatives lived in the Columbus, Ohio area. His family may have called him Emerson. He was in the military and was stationed at Ft. Benjamin Harrison in Indianapolis at some point. When he died he was married to Frances Negrete Drake and had 10 stepchildren by her. I would like to know more about his parents and siblings. His obituary only mentioned Frances and the stepchildren. It also said he lived most of his life in Des Moines, however, I'm sure there must still be relatives in Ohio today. If anyone has any information, I would love to hear from you. Thanks! Melissa Burch
