DAKE, Crawley Phillips

Weekly Journal Miner, Prescott, Arizona Territory Wednesday, April 16, 1890, page 4, column 2 Another Veteran Gone Although Major C. P. Dake had been confined to his room for nearly a year and a half, the community was considerably surprised yesterday afternoon, to learn that he had died, as it was mot generally known that his condition had changed for the worse. Early in the war of the rebellion, C. P. Dake raised a company at his home in Michigan, and was afterwards promoted to be major of the regiment to which he was assigned, and he made a record as a brave soldier. it was during an engagement that he received a wound which never healed, and which after all these years was the cause of his death. Coming to Arizona, he was appointed United States Marshal for the territory, at a time, too, when it required tact and nerve to fill the petition, but the duties of which were discharged by him in a manner to reflect credit. Since retiring from this office, he has been engaged in business pursuits until over a year ago, when he was compelled to retire on account of sickness and has ever since been confined to the house. The funeral took place this afternoon at 3 o'clock from the family residence on Marina street, and the remains were followed to the last resting place by a large concourse of sorrowing friends and citizens of Prescott. Transcriber's note: Mr. Dake is buried at the Citizens Cemetery in Prescott, Arizona.
