Raymond Acton
Raymond Eugene Acton of Columbia died Sun., March 14, 1999, at his home. He was 56.
The cause of death is still being determined by the Boone County Medical Examiner.
Mr. Acton lived his entire life in Columbia. He was self-employed as a contractor. Mr. Acton spent much of his time working on houses and completing odd jobs, said his son, Donald Eugene Acton. He particularly enjoyed painting and carpentry.
Outside of work, he could be found on the baseball field. Playing baseball was one of Mr. Acton's favorite activities. He also enjoyed fishing and mushroom hunting. Mushroom hunting is a family tradition for the Actons; the children were all taught to distinguish between poisonous and edible mushrooms.
"He enjoyed cookin' 'em and eaten' 'em," said Joanne Acton, his daughter-in-law.
He would sometimes sell the mushrooms he found, she said.
"He knew which ones to get," she said.
Mr. Acton was born Oct. 25, 1942, in Columbia to James and Laura Acton.
Visitation for Mr. Acton will be from 6 to 9 p.m. today at the Meador and Son funeral home in Sturgeon. Services, conducted by the Rev. Stewart Curtwright, will be held at 2 p.m. Wednesday at the Meador home, at the corner of Ogden and Davis streets in Sturgeon. Internment will be at the Smith Chapel Cemetery in Rocheport.
Mr. Acton is survived by three sons, Donald Eugene Acton, Ricky Dale Acton and Bobby Berry, all of Columbia; four daughters, Tersa Acton and Rhonda Sue Berry, both of Des Moines, Iowa, Elisha Acton Lunsford of Benton City, and Rebecca Nicole Acton of Columbia; five brothers, Jerry Acton, James Orville Acton and Otto Acton, all of Columbia, Ronald Acton of Fulton, and Wilfred Acton of Rocheport; four sisters, Julia Arlene Hatton, Diana Aldez, and Cathy Jane Callen, all of Columbia, and Leona Ray of Harrisburg; and 15 grandchildren.
