DEATH OF WAYNESVILLE WOMAN.
Hester Ackerson Passed Away at the Advanced Age of Seventy Nine Years.
Another early settler and one of the best known women of the Waynesville section of DeWitt county passed to her reward last Friday. Mrs. Hester Ackerson died at 1:30 Friday afternoon at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Henry Lake, two miles north of Waynesville at the age of seventy nine years after a short illness of less than one week of pneumonia. The disease assumed a serious form from the start and advanced age precluded all hope of recovery. Mrs. Ackerson was a member of one of the best known families in DeWitt county. She was born in Ohio February 12, 1835, and came with her parents to this state when a small child. The family settled near Waynesville in 1851, and deceased was married to Joseph Ackerson in 1856, the couple living a happy life for more than half a century until her husband died two years ago. They were the parents of five children, all of whom survive, as follows: Mrs. Jane Baker, of Weldon; Mrs. Mary Hazeltt, of Wapella; Mrs. Henry Lake, of Waynesville; Henry and William, of Waynesville. Deceased was a woman of a kind and sociable disposition and will be missed by her many friends in the vicinity where she had been known for so many years. Funeral services were held at eleven o'clock Sunday morning at the Rock Creek church, Rev. J. S. Tharp of Waynesville M. E. Church officiating. Burial in Rock Creek cemetery.
