Margaret Drake Elliott and I became friends in her 92nd year of
life. During the two and one-half years we spent together on a
weekly basis, we became close friends. She trusted me with the
information she provided for her oral history on what it was like
to grow up in a rural setting, in a small midwestern town in a
country-doctor's home. While she spent her adult life in Muskegon
where she lived with husband Paul, she remembered her roots when
she decided to leave the family estate, that of her father and
mother, Dr. Wilke and Rhoda Waggoner Drake to the
community-at-large. The home of her childhood she named Drake
Memorial House. This is the story of the family that lived in that
setting and a small glimpse into the life at the turn-of-the
century. This book received the Pinnacle Book Achievement Award for
the best new Historical Book for the summer of 2011.
