First child born to William Peyton and Mary Jane (Fetters) Rake. His father changed the last name spelling of their name by adding an i making it Raike.
William Raike owned several junk boats and was murdered on September 23, 1929 on his own boat the Ranger or the America, not sure which boat is was (Informaton provided by Larry Baldwin.)
The Gallipolis Democrat, Thursday, September 26, 1929
The body of Capt. William Raike, 40, owner of a fleet of junk boats that traveled the river for years, was found Monday morning about 50 feet above the Silver bridge near Kanauga. The body was found by Noah Davis, a truck driver, and had several bad cuts and gashes about his head and neck. Murder is suspected and the officials of Gallia and Mason counties are busy investigating. Raike lived on his boat at Gallipolis and had been to Point Pleasant to visit his adopted daughter, who lives with Raike's divorced wife at that place. He was last seen alive at a restaurant near the bridge on the Ohio side of the river. The corner of Gallia county has not yet returned a verdict, waiting further investigation. It has been announced by the officers, however, that they strongly believe it was murder with robbery as the motive, as Raike was known to carry quite a sum of money on his person at all times.
