Mr. Akers was of a family of twelve children of whom two brothers and one sister survive who are: Joseph Akers of Barrow, Thomas G. Akers of Oakland, California, and Marietta, wife of Robert Cooper of Roodhouse. Those preceding him in death were four sisters: Tabitha, wife of W. S. Clark; Elizabeth, wife of W. H. Thompson, Niantic, Illinois; Martha Jane, Nancy, wife of J. J. Moore, and four children who died in infancy.
There are also surviving him, twelve grandchildren.
Mr. Akers was converted under the evangelism of Elder Jermain and united with the Manchester Christian Church in 1869. For fifty-five years he has lived a consistent Christian life.
He was a kind husband, an indulgent father, a good neighbor, charitable and sympathetic to all with whom he came in contact. No one in real distress was ever turned away from his home empty-handed.
