Ethan Akin Buried At Bethany Sunday
The remains of Ethan Akin, who died at Carroll, Iowa, Sept. 20th, aged seventy, were brought to Rushville Saturday and on Sunday at 1:30 o clock funeral services were held at Bethany church, conducted by Rev. Geo. P Snyder. The interment was made in the cemetery near by, where his wife is buried.
His son, Louis L. Akin, of Carroll, Iowa and son-in-law, {name unreadable}, of Gilman, Iowa, accompanied the remains to Rushville, and they were joined Sunday by his daughter, Mrs. B. B. Skinner, of Maplewood, New Jersey. While here they were guests at the home of A. M. Foster.
Mr. Akin was a native of New York, but came here when a young man, locating in Chicago, where he met Mary L. Foster and they were married in this county. The young wife and mother died when her first child was born - now Mrs. Marcellus of Ithaca, N. Y., and was buried in Bethany cemetery.
About three years ago he visited Rushville and later made a request that he be buried beside his wife.
At the funeral services Sunday several old time friends and neighbors were present who witnessed his marriage long years ago.
