James LaFayette Akers died at his home three miles southwest of Udall Thursday noon, July 25, 1918, at half past twelve. The cause of death was uramic poisoning.
During the many years Mr. Akers has lived in Cowley county he has proven himself to be a good man and worthy of the highest respect and confidence of his many friends. Another name is stricken from the ever lessening roll of our old settlers.
Mr. Akers was born in Carter county, Kentucky, December 24, 1855 and was 62 years, 7 months and 1 day old. He was married to Mary S. Tripplett at Willard, Kentucky, April 17, 1881, and to this union were born three children, Fred and Lowell C., of Udall and Brettie E. Akers Atkins of Chicago, who with the wife, one sister and two brothers survive.
He came west with his family to Udall in 1886 where they have since resided with the exception of a short residence in Oklahoma. Two years ago Mr. Akers and wife retired from active farm life and moved to Udall where they lived until this spring when they returned to the farm. He was a member of the Fraternal Citizens, Woodmen, and Odd Fellows lodges. The funeral was held from the home Saturday afternoon at half past two o'clock with many friends in attendance who gathered to pay a farewell tribute to an esteemed friend. The services were conducted by Rev. H.S. Scott, pastor of the Congregational church.
A mixed quartet composed of Mrs. D.P. Simons, Hazel Kiser, B.H. Latham and H.S. Scott sang "Nearer My God to Thee," "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere," "Jesus Lover of My Soul," and "Shall We Gather at the River. "
The Rebekahs and Odd Fellows attended in a body and conducted their ritualistic services at the grave.
Interment was made in the Udall cemetery.
