Catherine Elizabeth's parents were married 28 May 1845 in Lewis County, Missouri and were living in Marion County, Missouri in the 1850 census. Shortly after that, the family moved to Fabius Township of Schuyler County, Missouri where Catherine Elizabeth was born. In this county, they were living close to her maternal grandparents Mr. and Mrs. John C. Smith. The Lakes were still living in this location in the 1860 census, but by 1870 they had moved back to Union, Marion County, Missouri
Her known siblings were:
Mary M. Lake 1850-
Joseph E. Lake 1852-
Charles Lake 1856-
When Catherine Elizabeth was 24, her father Ezra Lake died. She was the only child left at home at this time as her siblings had either married or moved out of the home. In the 1880 census, she and her mother were living as borders with a man named James H. Smith 58 and his daughter May E. Smith 14. This is perhaps an uncle to Catherine Elizabeth, but this writer is not sure.
In 1894, Catherine Elizabeth married Samuel Johnson Feaster (1855-1923), son of William Henry Feaster a native of Maryland, and Mary J. (Earhart) Feaster of Virginia who had come to Marion County, Missouri in 1836.
Samuel Feaster was a widower with three children ages 13, 11, and 8. His first wife, Emma D. (Manefee), had died in 1890. Catherine Elizabeth's step-children were:
Roger Innis Feaster 1881-1937
Willie M. Feaster 1883-
Lenella (Feaster) Barton 1886-1952
The Feasters made their home in Palmyra, Marion County, Missouri, where Samuel was assistant cashier at the Bank of Palmyra. Prior to this for 16 years, Samuel had run a store in Philadelphia, Missouri, then came to Palmyra where he was Deputy County Clerk of Marion County for 8 years.
Two children were born to Samuel and Catherine Elizabeth (Lake) Feaster:
Jennie Evelyn (Feaster) Vaughn 1895-1971
Exie L. Feaster 1897-1986
On February 1, 1923, 5 days after Samuel had been elected as head cashier of the Palmyra Bank and on the day he was to assume his new duties, he dropped dead on the main street of Palmyra in front of the Post Office while talking to friends. He was buried in Greenwood Cemetery in Marion County, Missouri, where Catherine Elizabeth joined him in 1932.
