Akes was the son of Henry Grandville and Sarah Smith Akes, born March 4, 1888,
in Leon, Iowa. He attended schools in Leon and worked as a rural mail carrier
there for a time. In 1914 he went to South Dakota where he engaged in farming
and contracting. He built the Yellowstone Trail through North and South
Dakota with horses, maintaining approximately 200 head of horses in a road
gang.
He married in Timber Lake, S.D., Jan. 25 1925, to Cecelia Shumaker. From 1933
the couple made their home in Yakima, where Akes operated a trucking business.
His operation, hauling peas and general freight, eventually expanded into
Oregon. At the time of his retirement in 1957, the corporation was doing all
of Lamb-Weston's hauling with about 70 units.
Akes was an ardent fisherman and outdoor enthusiast. The couple has lived
in Milton-Freewater nine years.
Akes is survived by his widow, Cecelia Akes, at the home; his sons, Harold
Eugene Akes and Charles Leonard Akes both of Milton-Freewater; his daughters,
Sarah Russell of Yakima, and Hester Crary of Monterey, Calif.; 12
grandchildren, 25 great-grandchildren and a sister, Chloie Smith of Tucson,
Ariz. Also surviving are a number of Nieces and Nephews.
(The only mistake was that Sarah Smith Akes was Hester Smith Akes.)
