William Aikin and family were among the earliest settlers of Phillips County, coming from their home in Page County, Iowa to this county in 1887. He was a resident of the county for several years and during his first winter in this county was called upon to part with his wife, his daughter Eva, and his youngest son, William, all stricken with that dread disease, fever. It was the privilege of the writer to make the acquaintance of William Aikin while he was residing in Page County, Iowa, where he enjoyed an extensive acquaintance through the county. He was a man of strong convictions, of good general information and an active worker in any cause that he espoused. He was an active and efficient worker in the church and the Sabbath School and was always found at his post of duty ready to help advance the cause of good morals in the community where he resided. Wherever he made his home he enjoyed a large acquaintance and was highly esteemed by all who knew him. A good man has gone to his reward leaving behind him influences for good which eternity alone can fully reveal.


* NOTE:
Lakeside Cemetery Records: William Aikin is buried at Lakeside Cemetery in Loveland, Colorado. His son, John, is buried at Loveland Burial Park across the highway from Lakeside Cemetery. Both are operated by the City of Loveland, CO.
