Notes for BESSIE MAY LAKE:
Clyde is a farmer. He and Bessie made their home on Bunner's Ridge, near Fairmont, West Virginia. Bessie Lake Carpenter was the main inspiration for this collection of Lake family history and was a great source of information. My father (Lester Lake) and I visited with Aunt Bessie and Uncle Clyde on Christmas day, 1969. As always, she got out all her old family pictures and notes and asked if I had this one or that one in my writeup for the family and I would check to see if I did. She was always dropping little notes in the mail when she would remember some family story or date that she thought would be important to my work. It was with great sadness and shock that I received the word at work on December 26 that this great person, my Aunt Bessie, had died. She was like another mother to me, and after nearly 30 years (1994), I still miss her very much (L. Rex Lake). The following is from The Fairmont Times, December 27, 1969:

Mrs. Bessie May Carpenter, 75, of Route 6, Bunner's Ridge, died Friday morning in her home. Born on Bunner's Ridge on April 15 (17?), 1894, she was the daughter of Ila and Evolina Travis Lake.
