The parents of Mrs. Eliza AKIN were natives of New York, where they were married. They had a family of four sons and two daughters, and three of their children are now living; Andrew, of Sharon, Wis.; Henry, of Janesville; and Mrs. AKIN. The father was a capable carpenter. He came to Wisconsin in the early 'fifties, and located at Johnstown, where he followed his trade for some time, later moving to Mauston, where the family lived seventeen years. At the expiration of that period they came back to the southern part of the State, and settled at Richmond, Walworth county. There Mrs. GALLUP died in the fall of 1875, at the age of seventy-two. Her husband then broke up his home, and went to live with his daughter, Mrs. AKIN. He died under her roof in 1893, at the age of eighty-eight. He was a man of much intelligence, a great reader, and a fine historian.
