She had suffered several cerebral attacks in recent years. Born in Kansas 76 years ago, the former Lura M. Rorabeck came to Bedford early in the century. She was known as a teacher to a generation of children of the Bedford area. About a half century ago, she was married to Alonzo Drake. He had a large farm at what was known as Drakes' (sic) Corners in what now is Oakwood Village. The farm was sold by Mr. Drake in 1936. He transferred his activities to Wooster. He continued to operate a large farm there to raise specialized crops. He had been retired for a number of years. The couple had spent the last several winters in Florida. Surviving Mrs. Drake, besides her husband, are three sons, Alonzo Jr., Sheldon and Edwin Drake, and a daughter, Mrs. Clarence Shankleton. Services for Mrs. Drake will be at 11 a.m. tomorrow in the Wooster Central Christian Church, of which she was a member. Graveside services will be at 1 p.m. in Bedford Cemetery here.
