"William D. Hake is still numbered among the survivors of the soldiery of the Civil war, and is a farmer of Rowland township, Trumbull county, Ohio, in which township he was born September 27 (September 28 on his death certificate), 1837, a son of George and Catherine (Wortman) Hake.
The father was born in York county, Pennsylvania, in 1794 and died in 1876. The mother was born in Reading, Pennsylvania, and died in 1892. George Hake went from Pennsylvania to Ohio about 1830, and on his way lost his first wife. By trade, he was a potter, but upon going to Ohio he purchased a farm in what was then but a wilderness and erected a log house, which he lived in several years, then provided himself with a good frame residence.
For his first wife he married a Miss Miller, by whom he had five children: Henry, John, deceased; George, Jr.; David, deceased; Ann, deceased.
For his second wife he married about 1832, Catherine Wortman, by whom was born five children: Jacob, residing on the old homestead, in Howland township; William D., of this sketch ; Susan, resides in Cortland, married Benjamin Battles; Eliza, deceased; Zephniah, residing in Cortland, married Bazetta Stewart.
William D. Hake was educated in the district schools, but did not have the educational advantages enjoyed by the average youth of today. He remained at home until 1858, then moved to Missouri where he teamed with an ox team until the Civil war broke out. In June, 1861,—first year of the Rebellion—he enlisted with Captain Dockerdy and General Price, serving six months; was in the fierce battle of Wilson's Creek and Lexington, where Col. Mulligan was captured, Mr. Hake was forced to join the rebel army, but with a fleet horse made his escape in March, 1862. Twenty-eight soldiers fired nine rounds at him, but he received no wounds.
He returned to his old home in Howland township and worked for his father a year, then worked at logging business three years. After that, he, with a nephew, operated a saw mill two years, after which he purchased forty acres of land, upon which he now resides and has followed farm life ever since.
Politically, Mr. Hake is a loyal Democrat, and in church choice is a Disciple, as is also his good wife. He has been married twice, first to Mary Hayhusk, in 1862; she was born in 1843, and by such union one child was born, Leman, who is now engaged in the lumber business at Niles, Ohio.
William D, Hake married in 1874 Mary (Messimer) St. John, a widow, by whom Mr. Hake had two children: Maude, residing at home; she married Clarence Jones, who is engaged in the saw mill business and employed by Charles F. Hake of Girard, Ohio, and Mamie, who died at the age of four months."
