SAD DEATH OF MISS LILLIAN ACKLEY
Died Saturday Afternoon at the Home of Her Parents in Liberty Township.
Lillian Ackley, the sixteen year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Ackley, pioneer and well Known citizens of Hamilton county, died at the family home in Liberty township Saturday afternoon, after two weeks of severe suffering.
Miss Ackley had been In poor health some time and two weeks ago was stricken with brain fever, which developed into spinal meningitis, resulting in her death Saturday afternoon. She was a patient sufferer to the end, which came as a relief to the family and friends who had been at her beside, and witnessed the ordeals through which she passed. She was a loving, kind and dutiful daughter and her untimely taking off is a crushing blow to her fond parents and brothers and sisters. The heart felt sympathy of the community where the Ackleys have lived so long goes out to them in their hour of their bereavement and they have the consolation of knowing that the thought and good will of a wide circle of friends are with them now. Besides the parents, two brothers — Paul and Ferridoon, both living at home, and four sisters, Miss Lucretia Ackley of Hampton, Mrs. Bedsaul and Mrs. Nellie Bean, both of South Dakota, and little Sybil, living at home — are left to mourn her death.
The funeral was held from the home yesterday forenoon at 10 o'clock, with Interment In the Liberty Center cemetery.
