Albert C. Lake

• Albert C. Lake was born circa 1845 in Mississippi.
• He married Annie S. Pegues, daughter of Nicholas Bedgegood Pegues and Mary Catherine Saunders, on 15 November 1888 in Lafayette County, Mississippi.
• The following appeared on 6 July 1909 in The Biloxi Daily Herald: (Jackson, Miss., July 5) Yallobusha Commandery No. 28, at Grenada, was reported a few days since as having conferred the Knights Templar degree on Mr. Levin Lake, aged 92, who has been a Mason nearly three-quarters of a century. Mr. Lake is one of the best known men in Mississippi. For more than fifty years he traveled all over the state selling meat, lard and other packing house products for the Armours. He and the elder Armour were great friends, and the great packer was ready at any time for several years to place Mr. Lake on the pension list. But the faithful old drummer would have none of that and remained actively in the harness till a year or two since, when he retired from the road and left his customers to his son, who is also an old-timer, being a vetran of the Confederate army.
• Albert C. Lake died on 7 September 1910 in Lafayette County, Mississippi.
• He was interred at Oxford Memorial Cemetery, Oxford, Lafayette County, Mississippi.
