I recently found a diary that was written by my Great Uncle Daniel Sampson Lake. The diary was written in 1874. Daniel was lost at sea in 1880 at the age of 25. Daniel lived in Pleasantville, NJ.
Daniel was born December 3, 1854. His father was John Tilton Lake and his mother was Amanda Adams. Daniel had 7 siblings:
Daniel Lake 1853 – 1854
Joseph F. Lake 1856 – 1862
Flora Lake 1859 – 1913
Joseph Ellwood Lake 1861 – 1862
Lewis Henry Lake 1865 – 1946
Mark Adams Lake 1866 – ?
Ezra Adams Lake (My Grandfather) 1873 – 1936
I will be posting the entries from his diary each day. This will give you a look into the daily life of a young man in the year 1874.
