She lived alone with numerous animals, many of which had been given to her due to: old age, infirmity, being vicious through violent treatment, or just no longer wanted. She could get a hamster to come when its name was called, an old horse to count numbers with its hoof on the floor and to smile on command, and even turn a terrifying guard dog into a cuddly pet. She saved many animals from an early death and gave </I><I>numerous animals</I><I> a loving home for their last days. No animal, whatever its attitude or condition, was turned away. She lived just to help our dumb friends, and was a natural animal-lover to the end. The world is poorer without her.</I></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="31323b40.jpg" border=0 width="291" height="180" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> *******************************************************************************************************************</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="571c8f50.jpg" border=0 width="200" height="245" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <I>To the Memory of Clarence Cade of North Carolina, USA (1913-2008), who died aged 94. He was a committed genealogist and spent many years reseaching the 'Cade' side of our family; he self-published his 'Cade' research and circulated copies around his extended family in the USA and England, which he visited several times as part of his research. We will miss his cheerful personality and his interest in our famiy history. Both he and I are descended from the issue of the marriage of Joseph Cade and Sarah Musgrave in 1822. Whilst I had started my 'all lines' family history research many years before I met him; I had become 'stuck' in the late 18th century </I><I>on the 'Drakes' line </I><I>and had virtually given up that branch of my tree. It was Clarence who inspired me to undertake a one-name study of the Lincolnshire Wolds 'Drakes' family, which has since grown to cover all variant spellings of this surname around the world. </I></div> <div> <I>Clarence has now joined our ancestors, </I><I>but he will never be forgotten.</I></div> <bR> <div> *******************************************************************************************************************</div> <bR> <div> <I> <IMG SRC="54620fa0.jpg" border=0 width="800" height="506" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></I></div> <div> <I>Steam Trawlers at Grimsby during the 1901 strike, which would be similar to those at Hull, Yorks.</I></div> <bR> <div> <I>Amos Drakes </I><I>was born on 8.5.1885 at Kingston upon Hull, Yorks., the sixth of seven children of Amos Watson Drakes and Hannah Maria Revill (Revell).

They raided and traded in Arab lands, as is evidenced by archaeological finds both in their homelands and in Arab lands. In the film, the quote above was said by those who believed that they were about to die. The Vikings looked forward to meeting their ancestors in an after-life and, in this respect alone, I do not believe them to have greatly differed from the beliefs of many other faiths, including Christianity, who also look forward to meeting their loved-ones when they themselves die. It is from this viewpoint alone that I have included the above, as their faith was otherwise totally different.</div> <bR> <div> *******************************************************************************************************************</div> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
