February 2, 1940 E.L. Drake Dies in Jackson E.L. Drake, fifty years of age, died in home in Jackson, Friday morning, Jan. 8th, and his remains were laid to rest in the Hollywood cemetery, that city, Saturday. Mr. Drake came to Lexington with the old Cumberland Telephone Company, many years ago, and was married to Miss Willie, daughter of Judge and Mrs. W.H. Lancaster, and to them one child, Mrs. Willie Mae Hannibeth, was born, and she with her mother, survive. The Drakes lived in Lexington until 1924, and while here he established the Princess Theatre, disposing of his interest therein when he moved to Jackson, where he soon established similar business, operating the Parmount and State Theatres. He sold his interest to the Malco organization and was retained as manager which position he has held for several years. Mr. Drake was reared in Mississippi, and when living in Lexington, had many friends who deeply sympathized with the family in their loss. |
