    Charles Romeyn Dake

    American writer and physician

    Charles Romeyn Dake (December 22, 1849 – April 23, 1899) was a 19th-century American homeopathic physician and writer. As an author, his name is sometimes spelled Charles Romyn Dake.

    Biography

    [edit]

    Charles Dake was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to David Merit Dake and Mary Manule.[1] His father and an uncle, J. P. Dake of Nashville, Tennessee, were also homeopaths. He had two daughters and at least one grandchild, Grace Bechtold.[2]

    He was an 1873 graduate of the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, and he practiced in Belleville, Illinois.[3] In 1893 he became editor of the journal Homeopathic News.

    Dake published two short stories and one novel, A Strange Discovery, which is a sequel to Edgar Allan Poe's The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket.

    In early 1899 he discovered that he had lung cancer and committed suicide by shooting himself.[4][5]

      Homeopathic News, May 1893 
      Charles Romeyn Dake (b. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 22 December 1849; d. Belleville, Illinois, 22 April 1899) 

      There persists a question over Dake's middle name. Throughout his life, in his profession as a doctor, and as a journal editor and author, he by-lined himself as "Charles R. Dake" (or sometimes "C.R. Dake").  His only book was published four months after his death, and gives his name in two variants: "Charles Romeyn Dake" on the front cover, and "Charles Romyn Dake" on the title and copyright pages.  His college records from the early 1870s give his full name as "Charles Romeyn Dake" (and in a short story from 1892, Dake named a character "Charles Romeyn"), so I believe "Romeyn" to be the correct spelling of his middle-name.

      He was the only son of David Merritt Dake (1814-1891) and Mary Bainbridge Manuel (1814-1895), who were married in 1835. He had four sisters, one of whom died in infancy. According to a biographical sketch in a History of St. Clair County, Illinois (1881), "Dake's father, grandfather, great-grandfather, all of his uncles and their sons, have been and are physicians," some of them allopaths, some homeopaths, and some other types.

      Dake was educated at the Western University of Pennsy
