She was a lifelong resident of Lee and Wolfe counties. She was a member of the Church of Christ. Wolfe County News - Feb. 26, 1971 By Nevyle Shackelford PASSING OF AUNT CHUB DRAKE AT AGE 101 MARKED BY SHACKELFORD A decade ago while being ineterviewd on the occasion of her 91st birthday, Mrs. Lelia (Aunt Chub) Drake stated she was "aiming to live to be a hundred." True to her aim, she made it and more before, beloved to all who ever knew her, she passed away in her sleep on Feburary 5, at the Myrtle Little Rest Home, Campton. The widow of Wiley Drake, Aunt Chub was a remarkable woman - a woman whose illustrious ancestory went back to Elizabethan England and beyond. "Part Cable and part Shepherd." As she said, she accredited her long and useful like to the fact that she was a "farm woman who always worked hard and loved everybody." Indeed Aunt Chub was a "bundle of love" as her many acquaintances often described her. She not only loved everybody and everything, but she also loved life. She always loved the eternal verities too, and was certain that when this life was over, she would live again in another world where life would be less difficult and even happier than the one she spent on a farm on the border of Lee and Wolfe Counties. Sturdy, intrepid, independent, and self-sufficient, Aunt Chub with her cob pipe and unflagging lust for life "kept house until well in her 90's when she broke up housekeeping" to live with her children. Then finally succumbing to the attritions of time and its implacable erosions, she finally joined her ancestors and friends gone on before. She was the type of woman whose likes may never be again. Surviving members of her immediate family are: six daughters, Mrs. Letha Creech, Ballardsville, Michigan; Josie Chrisman and Doll Abner, Vada; Pearl Dunaway, Beattyville; Mrs. Cindy Feltner, Hazard; and Mrs. Sally Abner, Winchester; two sons, Dudley Drake, Vada; and W.W. Drake, Campton; twenty-eight grandchildren, 52 great grandchildren and 15 great great grandchildren. Funeral services were conducted Sunday, February 7 at 2 p.m. at the Campton Church of God by the Rev. Doyle Thomas. Burial was in the Horton Cemetery, Sandy Ridge, with Shackelford Funeral Home in charge of arrangements. Carole
