In the company of other slaves, Akers, under the direction of his master, a man named Robinson, plowed the virgin soil where the Boone County National Bank now stands and the adjacent section of the business district of Columbia. It was while Akers was the property of Robinson that he came under the control of E. W. Stephens, who hired his master and with him the slaves he owned.
