The family cook-out was held at Whitehall Park. It was one of the best turn outs we have had, we saw family members we had not seen in years and we had the opportunity to meet their children. . . .

“Mildred, Teresa, Jackie and two friends (Lisa and Sarita) spent the weekend in New York this summer. While in NY we went to the Broadway Show “Fences” starring Denzel Washington and Viola Davis. All of us were trying to exchange places with Viola and be Denzel’s wife. We had a wonderful time watching him, he is so fine! We also saw Halle Berry at the show that night. . . .”

Those we love remain with us, for love itself lives on and cherished memories never fade because a loved one’s gone. Those we love can never be more than a thought apart, for as long as there is memory, they’ll live on in the heart.

Burr Lake (circa 1865-1929) and Mary Jane Wilson Lake (b. 1867-) of Newberry, SC were the parents of nine children: Bessie, (1/2/1886- 3/6/1983); Osborne; Alfred; Earl; Mary (7/27/1902-1/8/1980); Laura; Murt; George and Louvenia Lake (11/12/1906 – 10/6/1985).
According to Louvenia Lake Harris’ Obituary, she was the youngest of 17 children born to Burr and Mary Lake. Nine of their children survived.
William Herbert, Sr. (6/11/1909 – 8/18/2005) stated that during a period in his life after his father, Fletcher Herbert (1886-1916 ? ), had passed, the family moved to Grandpa Burr Lake’s place in Newberry County. The family included William (who was the oldest son) and his mother Bessie Lake Herbert (1/2/1886 – 3/6/1983) and his sisters: Harneatha Herbert Crump (7/29/1906 – 1/20/1998); Willie Mae Herbert Jeter (11/11/1907 – 11/8/1999); Lucretia Herbert Haley (12/24/1916 – 4/29/1991); Bessie Herbert (9/6/1914 – 3/22/2001) and brothers: twins, Elijah Herbert (4/1/1910 – 5/5/1982) and Elisha Herbert (4/1/1910 – 12/1990) and Amos Herbert (3/16/1916 – 1/2/1991). His mother, Bessie, sometimes worked in the city of Greenville, SC. Their beloved grandmother, Mary, had passed away years prior to that. William described Burr Lake as a very strong good man, extremely gifted in math – he could easily calculate numbers in his head. He said as a young boy when they went to town to sell their harvest from the farm, he was just amazed and proud looking at him “wheeling and dealing with people.” He strongly admired and loved his grandfather who he described as ‘God Fearing’ and a very stern parent who taught him his strong work ethic.
