ROBERT C. AKERS.
Mr. Robert C. Akers, for ten years advertising agent for THE INTER OCEAN, died at his late residence, No. 334 West Lake street, at 2:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. For several months Mr. Akers had been in delicate health from what was pronounced by his physician to be catarrhal consumption, and two weeks ago he became so ill as to be unable to leave his room. The disease developed rapidly, and for several days all hope of his recovery was abandoned.
Mr. Akers was born in Carrollton, Ohio, June 26, 1842, and his boyhood and early manhood were spent in farming in Ohio and Pennsylvania. He went from Pennsylvania to St. Louis, where he engaged in the advertising business, and thirteen years ago came to Chicago, and became connected with the advertising department of the Republican, the predecessor of THE INTER OCEAN. When THE INTER OCEAN was established Mr. Akers associated himself with the paper as one of the advertising agents and has since held that position, taking charge for several years of the special advertising and annual review of business at the close of each year.
Mr. Akers was married to Miss Laura Luddington, of this city, Jan. 1, 1879, and leaves this wife and two children to mourn his loss.
The funeral will be announced to-morrow.

The funeral obsequies of Robert C. Akers, of THE INTER OCEAN, were performed Saturday afternoon at the late residence of the deceased, No. 334 West Lake street. The Rev. T.N. Morrison, Jr., of the Church of the Epiphany, conducted the services. He spoke kind words of comfort, sympathy, and hope to the bereaved family, and read the beautiful services in a most feeling and affecting manner. The remains were taken to Graceland Cemetery for interment and were followed to their last resting place by a number of relatives and friends. The pallbearers were Messrs. Sheffield, Irvin, Minchin, and Wilson, of THE INTER OCEAN. The floral offerings were quite numerous and very beautiful. Among them was a handsome pillar of roses from the associates of the deceased in the counting-room of the paper. Mr. Akers had been connected with THE INTER OCEAN for many years in the capacity of advertising solicitor, and was highly esteemed by all who came in contact with him. He was a son of M.J. Akers [Wilson Lee Akers - ed.], of Pennsylvania. He leaves a young wife and two children to mourn his loss.
